People likely experienced light 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, 123 km (77 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry15 km (9 mi)S of epicenterPuli(pop: 86,400)IV: LightNantou, TaiwanTaiwan23 km (14 mi)W of epicenterWufeng(pop: 65,600)IV: LightTaichung City, TaiwanTaiwan25 km (15 mi)W of epicenterTaichung(pop: 1,040,700)IV: LightTaiwanTaiwan27 km (17 mi)SW of epicenterCaotun(pop: 96,800)IV: LightNantou, TaiwanTaiwan28 km (17 mi)SW of epicenterZhongxing New Village(pop: 25,500)III: WeakNantou, TaiwanTaiwan31 km (19 mi)NW of epicenterXizhou(pop: 28,600)III: WeakTaichung City, TaiwanTaiwan32 km (20 mi)SW of epicenterNantou(pop: 105,700)III: WeakTaiwanTaiwan38 km (23 mi)W of epicenterChanghua(pop: 226,600)III: WeakTaiwanTaiwan38 km (23 mi)W of epicenterBuzi(pop: 40,500)III: WeakTaichung City, TaiwanTaiwan38 km (24 mi)SW of epicenterYuanlin(pop: 124,700)III: WeakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan40 km (25 mi)SW of epicenterShetou(pop: 36,600)III: WeakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan42 km (26 mi)SW of epicenterLugu(pop: 17,700)III: WeakNantou, TaiwanTaiwan42 km (26 mi)SW of epicenterYongjing(pop: 35,400)III: WeakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan43 km (26 mi)SW of epicenterTianzhong(pop: 34,900)III: WeakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan44 km (27 mi)SW of epicenterErshui(pop: 14,100)III: WeakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan44 km (28 mi)SW of epicenterZhushan(pop: 44,100)III: WeakNantou, TaiwanTaiwan46 km (28 mi)SW of epicenterTianwei(pop: 26,100)III: WeakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan47 km (29 mi)SW of epicenterBeidou(pop: 33,300)III: WeakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan47 km (29 mi)W of epicenterXihu(pop: 47,000)III: WeakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan48 km (30 mi)SW of epicenterLinnei(pop: 16,900)III: WeakYunlin, TaiwanTaiwan50 km (31 mi)SW of epicenterPitou(pop: 29,300)III: WeakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan56 km (35 mi)SW of epicenterCitong(pop: 25,000)III: WeakYunlin, TaiwanTaiwan57 km (35 mi)SW of epicenterXiluo(pop: 37,200)III: WeakYunlin, TaiwanTaiwan57 km (36 mi)SW of epicenterDouliu(pop: 104,700)III: WeakYunlin, TaiwanTaiwan60 km (37 mi)W of epicenterErlin(pop: 43,700)III: WeakChanghua, TaiwanTaiwan67 km (41 mi)N of epicenterToufen Township(pop: 106,300)III: WeakMiaoli, TaiwanTaiwan71 km (44 mi)E of epicenterHualien City(pop: 350,500)III: WeakHualien, TaiwanTaiwan80 km (49 mi)N of epicenterHsinchu(pop: 404,100)III: WeakTaiwanTaiwan83 km (52 mi)SW of epicenterChiayi City(pop: 263,200)III: WeakChiayi, TaiwanTaiwan85 km (53 mi)SW of epicenterBeigang(pop: 33,300)III: WeakYunlin, TaiwanTaiwan92 km (57 mi)SW of epicenterTaibao(pop: 39,900)III: WeakChiyayi County, TaiwanTaiwan96 km (60 mi)N of epicenterDaxi(pop: 94,200)III: WeakTaoyuan, TaiwanTaiwan100 km (62 mi)N of epicenterBade(pop: 209,100)III: WeakTaoyuan, TaiwanTaiwan104 km (65 mi)NE of epicenterSanxia(pop: 115,200)III: WeakNew Taipei City, TaipeiTaiwan108 km (67 mi)N of epicenterTaoyuan City(pop: 402,000)III: WeakTaoyuan, TaiwanTaiwan112 km (70 mi)NE of epicenterYilan(pop: 94,200)II: Very weakTaiwanTaiwan121 km (75 mi)NE of epicenterNew Taipei City(pop: 4,004,400)II: Very weakNew Taipei City, TaipeiTaiwan123 km (77 mi)NE of epicenterTaipei(pop: 7,871,900)II: Very weakTaiwanTaiwan129 km (80 mi)NE of epicenterNeihu(pop: 271,600)II: Very weakTaipei City, TaiwanTaiwan137 km (85 mi)SW of epicenterYongkang(pop: 233,700)II: Very weakTainan, TaiwanTaiwanNotes:(*) 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.

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 3 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 3 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Nov 11, 2025 08:26 pm (Universal Time)8 minutes ago4.524 km0 km - This quakeTaiwanMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 227 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.1 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 10.5 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.92 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.1 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 6.3 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 109 quakes per year (or 9.1 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 177 quakes per year (or 14.8 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 220 quakes per year (or 18.4 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 4,100 quakes per year (or 11.3 quakes per day)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 12 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 10 to 15 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
