A small school in an old settlement.
Weixin Elementary is a small coastal-village school serving Weixin Village in Yong'an District, in the area historically known as Zhuzigang. The village traces its settlement to the Ming-Zheng era, when troops under Prince Ningjing's retainers first established a community here, before it was renamed "Weixin" following the 2010 merger of Kaohsiung County and Kaohsiung City.
