I had thought of Taiwan as the article describes it in 1991, an island of "lush green mountains obscured by clouds of smog." Looks like things have changed: air quality is much better and the island has embraced an environmental perspective:
“The biggest shift is with the attitude of Taiwanese people,” Mr. Crook said. “The countryside is no longer seen as backwards and boring, but rather a place where people can relax, exercise, learn about ecology and better understand what makes Taiwan Taiwan.”
