At the edge of Taiwan's last wild coastline.
Anshuo Elementary serves one of Taitung's southernmost and most remote communities, in Daren Township. Over 90% of its students are Indigenous, mainly Paiwan, and the school operates a branch campus, Xinhua Branch School, to reach families further from the main site. Anshuo Village lies near the Alangyi Ancient Trail, a stretch of coastal path that remains one of Taiwan's last undeveloped coastlines — no coastal highway has ever been built through it, leaving the area remarkably wild for a heavily built-up island.
安朔國小服務臺東最南端、最偏遠的社區之一,位於達仁鄉。全校逾九成學生為原住民,以排灣族為主,並設有新化分校,服務更偏遠地區的家庭。安朔村鄰近「阿朗壹古道」,這段海岸步道是台灣僅存的原始海岸線之一——從未興建濱海公路,在這座高度開發的島嶼上顯得格外珍貴。

阿朗壹古道旁

🏘️ A Predominantly Paiwan School
逾九成原住民學生
More than 90% of Anshuo's students are Indigenous, mainly Paiwan, making the school a central institution for preserving and passing on Paiwan identity in this remote township.
🚌 Reaching Families Through a Branch Campus
新化分校
The school operates the Xinhua Branch School to serve families living even farther from the main campus, a practical response to the demands of Taitung's most remote administrative area.
Daren, Taitung's remote southern tip.
Anshuo Village, home to this school, lies along the Alangyi/Shouka coastal trail corridor at Taitung's southern tip — one of Taiwan's last roadless coastlines — reinforcing Daren Township's remoteness and its strong Paiwan Indigenous character.
