A remote, century-old campus at the end of the line.
Jingtong Elementary began in 1918 as a branch of Ruifang Elementary School, and became fully independent in 1938. It is one of New Taipei City's officially designated "century schools," recognizing its long history serving a small, remote community in the mountains. The campus sits beside Jingtong Station, the terminus of the historic Pingxi rail line and home to a well-preserved coal-mining-era streetscape that today draws visitors from across Taiwan and abroad.
菁桐國小於1918年以瑞芳國小分校的身分創立，1938年（昭和13年）正式獨立設校，是新北市認定的「百年老校」之一，見證了這個山區小型社區的悠久歷史。校園緊鄰菁桐車站——平溪線鐵路的終點站，也是保存完好的礦業聚落街景，如今吸引了來自台灣各地與海外的旅客。
