Formerly known as "Taiwan" (大員), Anping is the origin of Taiwan’s name, which is why this selection campaign is themed "Taiwan’s Name Originates from Anping." In addition to online voting for the Top 10 Small Tourist Towns, the Anping District Office has placed "Taiwan’s Top 10 Small Tourist Towns" voting postcards at three locations for those without internet access: the "Anping Tourism Information Center" (790 Anping Rd., Anping District), the "Anping Local Culture Museum" (64 Guanyin St., Anping District), and the Anping District Office Service Counter (316 Yuping Rd., Anping District). Voters can pick up and cast their votes to participate, and all participants will receive a beautiful commemorative postcard featuring either Anping scenery or the Anping Sword Lion.
