History

During Qing rule, the headquarters of Taitung Prefecture was located in modern-day Ruisui, known then as Tsui-be,[2] or Tsui-boe[3] (Chinese: 水尾; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chúi-bóe). Those Chinese characters (水尾) were rendered Mizuo in Japanese during Japanese rule of Taiwan, but were later changed to 瑞穗, Mizuho in 1917.[4] This written form was retained after the Kuomintang takeover of Taiwan in 1945; the characters are pronounced Sūi-sūi and Ruìsuì in Taiwanese and Mandarin Chinese, respectively.[citation needed]

Geography

The township lies in an alluvial plain which located midway up the Huadong Valley between the Central Mountain Range, Coastal Mountain Range and Wuhe Terrace. Rafting activity on the Xiuguluan River often starts from the Ruisui Bridge.[citation needed]

The climate is between tropical and subtropical monsoon with a humid climate.[citation needed]

The Tropic of Cancer passes through the township.[citation needed]

Administrative divisions

The township comprises 11 villages: Fumin, Fuxing, Fuyuan, Hegang, Jimei, Ruibei, Ruiliang, Ruimei, Ruisui, Ruixiang and Wuhe.[citation needed]
