About · 學校簡介

Taiwan's biggest elementary school campus.

Wan'an Elementary's roots trace back to 1941, when it began as a branch of what is now Fuyuan Elementary School. It became a fully independent school in 1945. Along the way, Wan'an itself once operated a branch campus that gained independence in 1959, only to be merged back into the main school in 1996 as enrollment in the surrounding countryside declined. Today, Wan'an holds a singular distinction: at 8.43 hectares, it has the largest campus of any public or private elementary school in Taiwan — set amid the very rice paddies of Wan'an Village that appear in the famous "Mr. Brown's Avenue" advertisement and that produce Chishang's world-renowned rice.

萬安國小的校史可追溯至民國30年(1941年),最初為今日福原國小的分班,於民國34年(1945年)正式獨立設校。萬安國小本身也曾設有分校,於民國48年(1959年)獨立設校,卻在民國85年(1996年)因周邊農村人口減少而併回本校。如今,萬安國小擁有一項獨特紀錄:校地面積達8.43公頃,是全台公私立國小中最大的校園——就座落於「伯朗大道」廣告場景所在、也是池上舉世聞名稻米產地的萬安村稻田之間。

伯朗大道場景所在地

The school sits amid the rice paddies of Wan'an Village — the very fields made famous by the "Mr. Brown's Avenue" television advertisement.

🔄 A Branch That Came Full Circle

分校獨立又併回本校

Wan'an's own branch campus became independent in 1959 before merging back into the main school in 1996, a small-scale echo of the countryside's shifting population.

🌾 Rooted in Chishang's Rice Legacy

池上米的產地根基

The surrounding paddies of Wan'an Village are a direct source of Chishang's world-famous rice, tying the school inseparably to the township's signature industry.
