A small school on a mountain border.
Wuliao Elementary began in 1927 during the Japanese colonial era, upgraded from a private school called "五寮義塾." It gained independent status in 1948 and adopted open education methods in 1994. The school sits in a remote mountain area straddling the border between Sanxia and Taoyuan's Fuxing District, and it rebuilt its library in 2021 to continue serving its small student body.

位於三峽桃園交界
Sitting in a remote mountain area straddling Sanxia and Taoyuan's Fuxing District, the school serves one of the district's most isolated communities.
Bamboo shoots and ginger in the mountains.
The Wuliao area straddles Sanxia and Taoyuan's Fuxing District, a locality known for bamboo shoot and ginger farming in its cool mountain climate — agricultural traditions that shape daily life for the school's small community. See the New Taipei county page for more on the region.
