A century of names, rooted in the same soil.
Shoufeng Elementary traces its lineage to 1916, when it opened under Japanese rule as the "Yuemei Aboriginal Public School Liyuwei Branch." It became independent the following year and has since passed through at least five name changes before settling on its current name in 1968. Today the school is designated an Indigenous-focus school, with Amis students making up roughly half its enrollment as of 2024 — a continuity of the mixed farming community the school has served for over a century.
壽豐國小的歷史可追溯至日治時期民國5年(1916年),創校時名為「月眉蕃人公學校鯉魚尾分校」。隔年獨立設校,此後歷經至少五次更名,於民國57年(1968年)確立現名。學校現為原住民重點學校,截至2024年阿美族學生約占全校半數——延續了這所學校逾百年來服務的阿美族與漢人混居農村社區。

🐟 A Name That Means Abundance
「壽豐」意指豐饒
The township's name, Shoufeng (壽豐, "longevity and abundance"), reflects the fertile farmland around nearby Liyu Lake that has sustained the community for generations.
Farmland around a fabled lake.
Shoufeng Township takes its name from the fertile land around Liyu Lake (鯉魚潭), Hualien's largest lake and a popular scenic spot ringed by mountains. The township is also home to National Dong Hwa University, giving the area a distinctive mix of farming heritage and academic life.
