Mituo District ( Chinese: 彌陀區; pinyin: Mítuó Qū; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Mî-tô-khu/Bî-lô-khu/Mî-lô-khu) is a rural district of Kaohsiung City in southern Taiwan.
This district was formerly called Bilokang ( Chinese: 彌陀港; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Bî-lô-káng) [2]
After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, Mituo was organized as a rural township of Kaohsiung County. On 25 December 2010, Kaohsiung County was merged with Kaohsiung City and Mituo was upgraded to a district of the city.
The district consists of Guanghe, Mijing, Miren, Mishou, Mituo, Jiugang, Wenan, Yancheng, Guogang, Haiwei, Tade and Nanliao Village. [3]
The district is part of Kaohsiung City Constituency II electoral district for Legislative Yuan.
