Manzhou Village is located in the basin of Gangkou River and its tributary Laofo River in Manzhou Township, Pingtung County. In the past, it was the traditional hunting ground for the Wenshuai-Shandingshe of Paiwan ethnic group and the Zhusheng-sushe (Ciljasuak) of Seqalu ethnic group. Later, the Hakka immigrants came here to cultivate. During the Japanese occupation period, Taiwan’s Government-General set up villages, public schools, police posts, telecommunication offices, post offices, and other facilities here, making it the administrative center of Manzhou Township. In 1920, local system corrections were implemented and Wenshuai was re-named to Manzhou. However, as the two characters of “Manzhou” is the same as the Manzhou in north-eastern China, it got opposed by residents and was rewritten to the current name.
