Built by overseas Chinese generosity.
Qiaocheng Elementary was built in 1959-1960 using donations from overseas Chinese communities responding to the devastating "8/7 Flood" (八七水災) of August 1959. It was one of 33 schools constructed across flood-stricken counties with these funds, and one of 31 that were named using the character "僑" (meaning "overseas Chinese") to honor the donors. The school sits in Shengxing Village, near the historic Shengxing Railway Station on the Old Mountain Line.
