The Wutai settlement is located in the northeast of what is today’s Wutai Village, that is, on the gentle eastward slope of Mount Jingbu on the left bank of the North Aliao River, with an elevation of about 800 meters. Since the middle to late Japanese occupation period, it has become the administrative center of the region with a township office, police station, health center, and schools. In the Rukai language of Wutai community Wutai is called Vudai, Taibabao, or written as Budai. The original meaning of the name is unknown but since the Chinese character is written as “fog platform”, it was thought that the name comes from the year-round fog in the area. As a fact, job’s tears grow luxuriantly here, and this plant is named Budai in Rukai language.
