A branch campus that grew out of a village temple.
Sanwan Elementary School, Daping Branch is a branch campus of Sanwan Elementary School, serving the more remote Daping village area of Sanwan Township. It was founded on August 1, 1954, originally as the "Jinshui National School, Daping Branch Class," borrowing classrooms from the Daping Citian Temple (慈天宮) before permanent classrooms were built in 1957. The branch became an independent "Sanwan Township Daping National School" in 1959, and was renamed Daping Elementary School in 1968. Today it serves a cross-township catchment spanning Sanwan's Daping village and neighboring Zaoqiao Township's Dalong village, operating as a small satellite of Sanwan Elementary School.

偏遠山區教育據點
As a small rural branch campus, the school remains a vital local resource, and residents have advocated to formally reclassify it as a "Sanwan branch school."
Where Hakka temple life meets rural education.
Housed originally in a Hakka village temple and still serving remote mountain hamlets, Daping Branch embodies the deep integration of Hakka folk religion and rural education in Sanwan's hill country. See the Miaoli county page for more on the region.
