Taiwan


Addressing formats
Some roads are divided into multiple sections, for each of which sections the house numbering starts over again. An example of how addresses in Taiwan can sometimes include not only a road and the specific section of the road, but also a further branching out to a lane and an alley can be seen as follows:
“#4, Alley 14, Lane 104, 3rd Section, Xi-tun Road.”
