A school at the edge of the map.
Wulu Elementary sits on the Southern Cross-Island Highway near the well-known Wulu hot springs, making it one of Taiwan's most remote small schools. Almost the entire student body — about 99% — is Indigenous, predominantly Bunun. The school oversees a remote branch campus, Lidao Branch School, extending its reach even further into the mountains, and it places special emphasis on preserving Bunun millet-harvest ceremonies and harvest songs as part of its cultural curriculum.
