Bangka is today called Wanhua. In the early years, the Pingpu people brought agricultural produce here in canoes to trade and the word for "canoe" in the Pingpu language is pronounced "Mangjia." The market where people traded with Han Chinese settlers was called "Bangka." In the past, it was listed as "First Tainan, Second Lugang, Third Bangka," referring to Anping in Tainan and Lukang in Changhua. Danlan Old Trail also starts in Bangka and extends to Yilan.
