Can route 53 used as domain direct with geo location?

I am wondering if route 53 can be used as domain redirect when page loads?

Let's say if I have a domain name www.domain.com which is hosted in usa and anther domain named www.domain.tw which is hosted in taiwan.

With the route 53 traffic management, can I say if the end user in taiwan entered www.domain.com then it'll automatically redirect the page to www.domain.tw?

Route53 supports geolocation. This means that you can have multiple records for the same domain name but resolve to different addresses based on where the user is located. One record could point to your server in Taiwan and other record to your server in the US. Bother servers can even have the same domain name which is an important factor for HTTPS lookups.

Route53 geolocation is performed before the user goes to your web site. So this is not web page redirection.
