People likely experienced weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Taiwan, Taipei, 227 km (141 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake could not be felt.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry13 km (8 mi)SW of epicenterYujing(pop: 16,600)III: WeakTainan, TaiwanTaiwan30 km (19 mi)N of epicenterChiayi City(pop: 263,200)III: WeakChiayi, TaiwanTaiwan34 km (21 mi)NW of epicenterTaibao(pop: 39,900)III: WeakChiyayi County, TaiwanTaiwan36 km (23 mi)SW of epicenterYongkang(pop: 233,700)III: WeakTainan, TaiwanTaiwan42 km (26 mi)SW of epicenterTainan(pop: 771,200)III: WeakTaiwanTaiwan42 km (26 mi)NW of epicenterBudai(pop: 19,300)III: WeakChiyayi County, TaiwanTaiwan46 km (29 mi)NW of epicenterBeigang(pop: 33,300)III: WeakYunlin, TaiwanTaiwan48 km (30 mi)NW of epicenterDongshi(pop: 15,000)III: WeakChiyayi County, TaiwanTaiwan54 km (34 mi)N of epicenterDouliu(pop: 104,700)II: Very weakYunlin, TaiwanTaiwan60 km (37 mi)N of epicenterCitong(pop: 25,000)II: Very weakYunlin, TaiwanTaiwan61 km (38 mi)N of epicenterLinnei(pop: 16,900)II: Very weakYunlin, TaiwanTaiwan61 km (38 mi)N of epicenterZhushan(pop: 44,100)II: Very weakNantou, TaiwanTaiwan62 km (39 mi)N of epicenterLugu(pop: 17,700)II: Very weakNantou, TaiwanTaiwan65 km (40 mi)N of epicenterXiluo(pop: 37,200)II: Very weakYunlin, TaiwanTaiwan66 km (41 mi)N of epicenterErshui(pop: 14,100)II: Very weakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan71 km (44 mi)N of epicenterTianzhong(pop: 34,900)II: Very weakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan73 km (45 mi)N of epicenterBeidou(pop: 33,300)II: Very weakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan75 km (46 mi)S of epicenterChaozhou(pop: 55,100)II: Very weakPingtung, TaiwanTaiwan75 km (47 mi)N of epicenterTianwei(pop: 26,100)II: Very weakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan75 km (47 mi)N of epicenterPitou(pop: 29,300)II: Very weakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan76 km (47 mi)N of epicenterShetou(pop: 36,600)II: Very weakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan78 km (48 mi)N of epicenterErlin(pop: 43,700)II: Very weakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan78 km (48 mi)N of epicenterYongjing(pop: 35,400)II: Very weakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan78 km (49 mi)N of epicenterNantou(pop: 105,700)II: Very weakTaiwanTaiwan80 km (50 mi)SE of epicenterTaitung(pop: 103,300)II: Very weakTaiwanTaiwan82 km (51 mi)N of epicenterYuanlin(pop: 124,700)II: Very weakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan82 km (51 mi)N of epicenterXihu(pop: 47,000)II: Very weakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan84 km (52 mi)N of epicenterZhongxing New Village(pop: 25,500)II: Very weakNantou, TaiwanTaiwan84 km (53 mi)S of epicenterDonggang(pop: 47,700)II: Very weakPingtung, TaiwanTaiwan86 km (53 mi)N of epicenterCaotun(pop: 96,800)II: Very weakNantou, TaiwanTaiwan94 km (58 mi)NE of epicenterPuli(pop: 86,400)II: Very weakNantou, TaiwanTaiwan94 km (59 mi)N of epicenterChanghua(pop: 226,600)II: Very weakTaiwanTaiwan95 km (59 mi)N of epicenterWufeng(pop: 65,600)II: Very weakTaichung City, TaiwanTaiwan104 km (65 mi)N of epicenterTaichung(pop: 1,040,700)II: Very weakTaiwanTaiwan105 km (65 mi)W of epicenterMagong(pop: 56,400)II: Very weakPenghu County, TaiwanTaiwan110 km (68 mi)N of epicenterBuzi(pop: 40,500)II: Very weakTaichung City, TaiwanTaiwan137 km (85 mi)NE of epicenterHualien City(pop: 350,500)II: Very weakHualien, TaiwanTaiwan168 km (104 mi)N of epicenterToufen Township(pop: 106,300)I: Not feltMiaoli, TaiwanTaiwan225 km (140 mi)NE of epicenterNew Taipei City(pop: 4,004,400)I: Not feltNew Taipei City, TaipeiTaiwan227 km (141 mi)NE of epicenterTaipei(pop: 7,871,900)I: Not feltTaiwanTaiwanNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

It has had at least 5 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 23 to 27 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
