Nearly a century in the hills above Tamsui.
Pingding Elementary School traces its roots to April 13, 1926, when it opened during the Japanese colonial era as "Xiao Pingding Charity School." It now serves the mountainous school district of Pingding, Ganzhen, and Shuxing villages near Beitou, with a campus positioned to give students sweeping views of Guanyin Mountain and the Tamsui River below.
