A school renamed twice with its island.
Qimei Elementary descends from the Japanese-era "Dayu National School." It was renamed "Dayu Elementary" for Dayu Township in 1946, then renamed again to "Qimei Elementary" in 1949 when Dayu Township itself was renamed Qimei Township, and became "Qimei National Elementary School" in 1968. In 1952, the school set up a West Lake branch class, which later became independent as today's Shuanghu Elementary School. Its school district today covers four villages — Nangang, Haifeng, Zhonghe, and Pinghe — and the school has marked its 80th graduation ceremony in recent years.
七美國小前身為日治時期的「大嶼國民學校」，民國35年（1946年）更名為澎湖縣大嶼鄉大嶼國民學校，民國38年（1949年）大嶼鄉改名七美鄉後，隨之更名為「七美國民學校」，民國57年（1968年）定名為「七美國民小學」。民國41年（1952年）設立西湖分校，後獨立設校，即今日的雙湖國小。學區現涵蓋南港、海豐、中和、平和四村，近年舉辦了第80屆畢業典禮。

🗺️ Serving Four Villages
服務四個村落
Qimei Elementary's school district covers Nangang, Haifeng, Zhonghe, and Pinghe villages, spanning much of Qimei Island's populated area.
Qimei, island of legend and the heart-shaped weir.
Qimei — "Seven Beauties" — took its name from a legend of seven women who drowned themselves rather than be captured by pirates. The island is also home to the world-famous heart-shaped stone fish weir (雙心石滬), built by generations of fishing families. Qimei Elementary sits within this island's deep fishing and folklore heritage. See the Penghu county page for more on the region.
