In 1927, the Taiwan Nichinichi Shimpo newspaper held a poll to choose the top eight sights in Taiwan. People were asked to send in their choices on postcards, and then the top eight were chosen by experts from the 20 finalists.
1927 年「台灣日日新報」曾舉行「台灣 8 景」票選活動，方式是先由民眾以明信片投票，依票數高低決定前 20 名的入圍地點，再由專業人士挑選出最後 8 景。
