The district's namesake school, over a century old.
Pingxi Elementary was founded in 1918, making it over a century old today. The school sits in the town center of Pingxi District's namesake settlement, directly along the Pingxi rail line — the narrow-gauge railway originally built to haul coal out of the valley and now beloved by tourists riding the line's slow, scenic route between old mining towns.
平溪國小創立於民國7年（1918年），至今已有百年以上的校史。學校座落於平溪區同名市街的中心地帶，緊鄰平溪鐵路線——這條窄軌鐵道最初是為了將煤礦運出山谷而興建，如今已成為觀光客搭乘、緩緩穿梭於昔日礦業小鎮之間的熱門路線。
