A newer campus for Nanzih's expanding side.
Nanyang Elementary began preparations in July 1992, with its design commissioned to the Xinming Architects firm. One of the younger elementary schools in Nanzih District, it was established to serve the area's rapidly growing population during the 1990s.

🌇 A Name for the "Sunlit Side"
校名寓意向陽發展
"Nanyang" (楠陽) combines "Nanzih" with the character for "sunlit" or "sun-facing," a name reflecting the newer, expanding side of the district.
📈 Born From 1990s Growth
因1990年代人口增長設校
Like several neighboring schools, Nanyang was founded specifically to absorb Nanzih's fast-growing population during the 1990s.
Named for the sunlit, growing side of Nanzih.
Nanyang's name reflects Nanzih's urban expansion in the 1990s — pairing the historic "Nanzih" place name with "陽" (sunlit/yang side), evoking the newer, growing edge of the district as it absorbed a wave of new residents and new schools. See the Kaohsiung county page for more.
