眉溪

Wushe, located in Ren'ai Township, Nantou County, sits above the terrace on the west bank of the upper Meixi creek at an altitude of 1,148 meters. It is the intersection of three historic trails: Nenggao Traversing Historic Trail, Hehuan Traversing Historic Trail and Pyanan Historic Trail. It is also the hub of the Aiyong Boundary and has been vigorously constructed by the Governor-General in Taiwan, with administrative agencies, trade companies, hotels, and so on.

In the past, Wushe was not inhabited locally. The Zhuo group of the Bunun tribe called it Ish-Tibuo, which means the northern tribe. During the Qing period, the Han people used Hoklo language to transliterate it to Zhiwushe. Later, it got referred to as Wushe. In the post-war period, the National Government established the township office on Yingtai next to Wushe main street. Today, the residents are mostly Han Chinese.

Renzhiguan, located between Daguan Bridge and Ren'ai Bridge on Provincial Highway 14, was a gate that was set up during the Qing period to prohibit the Han people from entering the area and to prevent the Han immigrants from having conflicts with the Sediq tribe. However, in the early days of the Japanese occupation, the Governor-General in Taiwan launched a series of large-scale battles against the Sediq tribe in the Wushe area. Both sides suffered heavy losses. Later, the Japanese implemented the strategy of ruling indigenous peoples by their own kind and successfully broke through the defense line. In 1908, police officials were stationed in Wushe, and they devoted all their efforts to build Wushe into a model indigenous society.
