There is no country officially recognized as being shaped like a turtle. However, the island of Taiwan is often compared to a turtle due to its geographical features.
- The northern part of Taiwan resembles the head of a turtle, with the Taipei Basin acting as the head and the mountains forming the neck.
- The central mountain range of Taiwan stretches down the island, resembling the turtle's body.
- The southern tip of Taiwan, where the Penghu Islands are located, resembles the tail.
While the resemblance is not exact, the comparison is often made due to the distinct shape of the island.
