Perhaps the following figures can help shed some light on this matter: The Taipei Basin holds 12 % of the island's population on only 0.8 % of its land, yet it has one-sixth of the nation's high schools, one-third of its universities, and 54 % of its cultural activities.
以下的一連串數字，或許可以透露一點端倪：人口佔全國百分之十二、面積更僅佔全國千分之八的台北盆地，匯集了全國近六分之一的高中、三分之一的國立大學，及百分之五十四的文化活動。
