I like to use the Taiwan Yearbook, which is put out by the Government Information Office, as my style guide for addresses. You can find it online at www.gio.gov.tw/taiwan-website/5-gp/yearbook/. The only place I depart from it is with the "X Lin" part. The yearbook calls "lin" neigborhoods, which I think is okay in the middle of a prose sentence, but not in an address. By the way, I'm surprised there's no "X Li" preceding the "X Lin" in your address.
Discussion
You must be over the strait. Well, some funny regulations there are. The change of a society comes slowly, but surely. We'll see that someday people there will be able to access information they need as well.
Believe it or not, I cannot access MOST of the Taiwanese websites. This is so frustrating!!
Usually, you would have �� as county and �� just transliterated to "Tsun."
But I prefer to have �� as "Prefecture", so that you can have cities and counties under the prefect
