Xianglan Elementary School

Xianglan Elementary opened in 1955 as a branch of Dawang School, became independent in 1962, and was reorganized into its current form as an elementary school in 1968. The school serves both Old and New Xianglan villages, home to a mix of Paiwan, Amis, Hoklo, and Hakka residents — a diversity that reflects the layered settlement history of Taimali's coast. Like many small rural schools, Xianglan has seen enrollment fall sharply in recent years, down to around 32 students, and it has turned to tools like a 360-degree virtual campus tour to keep connecting with families and the wider community.

香蘭國小於1955年以大王國小分校身分設立，1962年獨立設校，1968年改制為現今的國民小學。學校服務新舊香蘭兩村，居民涵蓋排灣族、阿美族、閩南人與客家人，展現出太麻里海岸多元族群交融的歷史軌跡。如同許多鄉村小校，香蘭國小近年學生人數大幅下滑，僅剩約32人，學校也運用360度校園線上導覽等方式，持續與家庭及社區保持連結。
