Datong Elementary School

Datong Elementary opened in 1937, during the Japanese colonial era, as Enzan (Yuanshan) Public School (圓山公學校); it was renamed Yuanshan National School in 1941, then Datong National School in 1946 after WWII — and it is from this school and its surrounding area that Datong District itself takes its name. The school's original site is where Lanzhou Junior High now stands; it later moved and expanded to its current Dalong Street address. The campus is now slated for a major redevelopment: existing buildings are set to be demolished in summer 2026, with a new five-story building combining a social-welfare center, a teaching building, and an underground parking structure due to open around 2031, and part of the school will temporarily relocate to the Lanzhou Junior High campus during construction.

大同國小創立於1937年（昭和12年）日治時期，初名「圓山公學校」，1941年更名「圓山國民學校」，1946年二戰後改稱「大同國民學校」——大同區之區名即源自本校及其周邊地區。學校原址即為今日蘭州國中所在地，後遷移擴建至現今大龍街校址。校園目前正面臨大規模改建計畫：現有校舍預定於2026年夏季拆除，將興建結合社福中心、教學大樓與地下停車場（由市府停管處經營）的五層樓新建築，預計於2031年前後啟用；施工期間部分學校將暫遷至蘭州國中校區。
