A plum-orchard valley beneath sacred peaks.
Meiyuan Elementary was founded in 1955 beside the upper-middle reaches of the Da'an River, deep in the mountains of Taian Township. Its name — "Meiyuan," meaning "Plum Garden" — comes from the plum orchards once tended by local Atayal residents in the valley. From campus, students can see the Xueshan mountain range and the twin peaks the Atayal call "Papak-waqa," regarded as sacred in Atayal tradition.
梅園國小創校於民國44年（1955年），座落於大安溪中上游沿岸，深藏於泰安鄉的群山之間。校名「梅園」源自當地泰雅族居民昔日在此山谷栽植的梅樹果園。從校園可遠眺雪山山脈，以及泰雅族人視為聖山的「Papak-waqa」（大霸尖山）雙峰。
