"Not quite mountain, not quite city."
Qiangyuan Elementary sits in Qiangyuan Village, a small coastal community of roughly 1,400 residents whose economy centers on growing dragon fruit and raising fish in aquaculture ponds — part of Jiadong's broader coastal farming and fish-pond heritage. As of 2023, the school had about 98 students, 11 teachers, and 2 staff. A local reading-promotion association has described it fondly as a small school that is "not quite mountain, not quite city" (不山不市的小學) — tucked away from both the mountains and the urban centers, serving a close-knit rural community on its own terms.
羌園國小坐落於羌園村,這是一個人口約1,400人的濱海小聚落,居民以種植火龍果與養殖漁業為主,是佳冬鄉沿海農漁業傳統的一環。截至2023年,全校約有98名學生、11位教師、2位職員。當地一個推廣閱讀的協會曾形容這所學校是一所「不山不市的小學」——不靠山、也不臨都市,靜靜地服務著這個緊密的鄉村社區。
What makes this school worth knowing.
🐉 In Dragon-Fruit Country
火龍果之鄉
Qiangyuan Village's roughly 1,400 residents primarily farm dragon fruit, making the school's surroundings a distinctive slice of Pingtung's agriculture.
🐟 Alongside Fish-Pond Aquaculture
魚塭養殖並行
Beyond dragon fruit, village families also raise fish in aquaculture ponds, part of Jiadong's long-standing coastal farming economy.
🏞️ "Not Quite Mountain, Not Quite City"
不山不市的小學
A local reading-promotion association affectionately describes Qiangyuan as a small school caught between the mountains and the city — belonging fully to neither.
Rooted in Jiadong's Hakka farming heritage.
Jiadong Township (佳冬鄉) is a historic Hakka farming community, home to the Xiao family mansion (built 1846) and a long tradition of salt-pond and fish-farming aquaculture. Qiangyuan Elementary sits in a small seaside village whose economy centers on dragon-fruit farming and fish-pond aquaculture, part of Jiadong's distinctly coastal heritage within the wider Hakka township. See the Pingtung county page for more on the region.
