A farming-village school reborn.
Wenshan Elementary sits on the border between Miaoli City and neighboring Houlong Township, serving a rural fringe community on the edge of the county seat. While its exact founding date is not confirmed, its original teaching building dated to 1980. In 2023, the school received NT$153.92 million in government funding for a full campus rebuild, resulting in new facilities designed around a whimsical, "Harry Potter"-style magical school theme that has made the campus a local landmark.
