Serving Kaohsiung's oldest harbor-side neighborhood.
Yancheng Junior High serves students in Yancheng District, one of downtown Kaohsiung's oldest commercial neighborhoods. Precise records of the school's founding are not readily available, though its social-media presence suggests roots going back to at least the late 1960s, consistent with the citywide wave of junior highs established as Taiwan introduced nine-year compulsory education. The school continues to serve families in a district built on reclaimed salt flats that grew into Kaohsiung's earliest urban core.
鹽埕國中服務鹽埕區的學生——鹽埕是高雄市區歷史最悠久的商業聚落之一。學校確切創校年代的公開資料有限,但校方社群帳號線索顯示其歷史至少可追溯至1960年代末,與台灣實施九年國教期間全市普設國中的浪潮相符。學校持續服務這個由鹽田填築而成、後來發展為高雄最早市區核心的地區。

🧂 Built on Reclaimed Salt Flats
鹽田填築而成的校地
The school stands on land that was once part of Yancheng's Qing-era salt flats, reclaimed as Kaohsiung Harbor was dredged in the early 20th century.
Yancheng: from salt yard to harbor city.
The school takes its name from Yancheng (鹽埕, “salt yard”), the district built on Qing-era salt flats that were reclaimed as Kaohsiung Harbor was dredged starting in 1908, transforming the area into the city's earliest commercial hub. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
