Historical administrative division in Taiwan
Taitung Prefecture () was a division of Taiwan Province, which was created after 1887 during Qing rule. The prefecture's seat of government, originally at "Tsui-be" (水尾; modern-day Ruisui, Hualien), was moved to "Pi-lam" (卑南; modern-day Taitung City) in 1888. Plan to establish the sub-prefectures of "Pi-lam" () and "Hoe-lian-kang" () was aborted.
In 1895, with the Treaty of Shimonoseki and the successful Japanese invasion of Taiwan, the prefecture was reorganized as Taitō Chō in 1897 under Japanese rule.
