Where are Dairin and Fumpo (Sun Moon Lake)?

These are Japanese-era names. What are they called today? I think Fumpo must be the same (or close to) Shuishe. Is Dairin the Japanese name for Ita Thao?
"Then how do you explain Rasputin's mesmerism and inhuman vitality? Stalin's army of human-ape hybrid soldiers? The use of lasers during the battles on Damansky Island in 1969? The undisputed fact that creatures not of this earth have infiltrated the Volgograd region so completely that they are effectively in control? And I'd be very interested in hearing what you have to say about the Black Volga." --Red Ned Lynch, responding to "scientific" explanations of the 1908 Tunguska event in the Talkbacks of Ain't It Cool News

Wikipedia has useful pages on Japanese-era names for much of Taiwan (see links in this section) -- but not for Nantou. And I looked on a few maps from then but didn't see either place. Maybe just try some more maps.

Dunno, but "ita thao" means "we people" in Thao. ("ita" being cognate to Indonesian "kita")
