The highest school in the county, in the heart of Rukai country.
Wutai Elementary dates to 1927, founded during the Japanese colonial era in what is now the historic heartland of Rukai culture. In 2021 the school became an indigenous experimental education school (原住民族實驗教育學校), and it also operates the Ligulily Branch Campus, established in 2013 and opened in 2014 on Culture Street in Wutai Village. The school is often cited as the elementary school at the highest elevation in Pingtung County, its campus set among mountain clouds and surrounded by slate carving and Rukai ancestor-lily motifs woven through the village around it.

The historic heartland of Rukai culture.
Wutai Township is the historic heartland of Rukai culture, famed for its slate-house architecture — including the old Wutai and Rinari slate villages — and for its traditions of Rukai woodcarving and weaving. Sitting at the county's highest-elevation campus amid these mountain slate villages, Wutai Elementary is both literally and culturally at the summit of Rukai heritage in Taiwan.
