Local Culture · 在地文化

Rooted in Houbi's rice-farming villages.

🌾

As the district's main public junior high, Houbi Junior High draws students from the rice-farming villages surrounding Houbi, including the area later made famous by the 2004 documentary "Let It Be" (無米樂), which profiled elderly farmers continuing traditional rice cultivation. The school's character- and life-education programs grow directly out of that farming community's values.
