Taiwan will enter a new era on Monday, as President Tsai ying-Wen hands over power.
She's served two terms in office. And in that time, she has faced growing pressure from Beijing, which sees the self-governing island as a breakaway province.

Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes has been to meet President Tsai, and ask her about her legacy.
