What you are looking for is a Military State Secret. Export of such large-
scale maps and topographic information is treason in the Republic of Taiwan. I
would think it unlikely that you will be able to access such data, even while
"in-country." Smaller-scale topographic maps for tourist hiking purposes in
the mountains has been reported to have passed the military map censors.
This is normal behavior for a country with recent border conflicts, and/or
blood spilled in the past few generations, and/or with a major nuclear power
(with missles) next door that tends to rattle sabers.

Hi Guys:
I am looking for latest maps of Taiwan generated from 1:50,000 scale base maps (
preferably). I also need the contour data. Even paper maps will also do, if any
body knows of a source. any pointers?
