鄉鎮市名改採漢語拼音
Dear Taiwan CouchSurfers, we are pleased to announce that we are in the process of converting the CS Taiwan place name database to use the official Hanyu Pinyin romanization. (I personally would like to do more than just the township level, however we must reflect the official situation.)
