It was opened in April 2006. Ruili is the Chinese town across the border from Muse. Pang Hseng (Kyu Koke) and Mong Ko (Monekoe) are other important towns in the area.

The township has two subtownships, unofficial subdivisions used for administrative and statistical purposes- Pang Hseng Subtownship and Mong Ko Subtownship.[3]
