Where Shulin's education began.
Shulin Elementary School opened in 1898, but its educational lineage reaches back even further — to a private Qing-dynasty academy, Yangshan Study Hall (仰山書房), founded in 1872. That path from private academy to Japanese-era public school to modern elementary makes Shulin Elementary one of New Taipei's oldest schools, regarded as the literal origin point of formal education in the district. It celebrated its 120th anniversary in 2018.
