Sungai Ruan is a village located in the Raub District in the Pahang state of Malaysia. It is about 58.1 mi (or 93.5 km) north of Kuala Lumpur, the country's capital, or about 12.7 km from the Raub town.

Covering a total area of 9.7 square km at an average elevation of 227 meters above sea level, the village is surrounded by hills, forest and plantations with a population of about 6,000 people.^[1][2]

Sungai Ruan is a predominantly Chinese new village and has been home to mostly Cantonese-speaking residents since its existence under the British rule.^[3] Most residents are rubber tappers and farmers owning oil palm, fruit and orchard plantations.

During peak seasons, residents are occupied in harvesting Durians, especially the cultivar Musang King being the most popular variety of the fruit, attracting tourists and bringing economic development to the village.
