Quiet schooling between mountain and river.
Tianmei Elementary opened in 1942 as a branch of Nanzhuang Elementary School, becoming an independent school in 1946. Sitting at the foot of Lion's Head Mountain (獅頭山) along the Zhonggang River, the school is close enough to town for convenience yet retains the quiet, rural character of its surroundings, having now served the local community continuously for more than 80 years.

What makes this school worth knowing.
⛰️ At the Foot of Lion's Head Mountain
獅頭山山腳
The school sits directly beneath Shitoushan, one of northern Taiwan's noted scenic and pilgrimage mountains, giving daily school life a striking natural backdrop.
🌊 Along the Zhonggang River
中港溪畔
Bordering the Zhonggang River, the school and its surrounding community are shaped by the waterway that runs through much of Nanzhuang's landscape.
🏘️ Close to Town, Rural at Heart
鄰近市區、鄉村氣息
Despite its proximity to town, Tianmei has kept a quiet, rural setting — a balance that has defined the school since its founding as a branch campus in 1942.
Where Hakka hill-farms meet mountain and river.
Nestled between Shitoushan and the Zhonggang River in Hakka-majority Nanzhuang, Tianmei Elementary sits at the crossroads of Hakka hill-farming communities and the area's scenic mountain-and-river geography. See the Miaoli county page for more on the region.
