Shaking expected for a simplified model of the 2016 M=6.3 earthquake (magenta star) by Dr. Shiann-Jong Lee suggests very strong amplification at large distances from the mainshock, with values of almost 1.0 g in Tainan, and 0.3 g in Taitung and Kaohsiung
(Abbreviations: PGA = Peak Ground Acceleration, 980 gal = 1.0 g)
