About · 學校簡介

Over a century on the mountain road.

Yangmingshan Elementary School was founded on March 31, 1917, and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2017 — one of the oldest schools in the Yangmingshan mountain area itself, predating the modern national park by decades. Built into the hillside along Yangde Boulevard, the campus features colorful, terraced architecture that follows the natural slope. It is home to a beloved elephant-shaped slide that predates 1961 and remains a nostalgic photo spot for alumni, some of whom return for wedding photos or reunions decades later, as well as old camphor trees, with one specimen — nicknamed "Camphor Grandfather" — reported to be around 117 years old.

陽明山國小創立於大正6年(1917年)3月31日,並於民國106年(2017年)舉辦建校百年校慶——是陽明山地區歷史最悠久的學校之一,其歷史甚至早於現今國家公園設立數十年。校舍依山勢建於仰德大道旁,以色彩繽紛的階梯式建築聞名。校內著名的大象溜滑梯建於1961年之前,至今仍是校友懷舊拍照的熱門景點,不少人數十年後仍返校拍攝婚紗照或同學會合照;校園老樟樹中,一棵暱稱「樟樹爺爺」的老樹據傳已有約117年樹齡。

Local Culture · 在地文化

Inseparable from the mountain.

⛰️

Located directly on Yangde Boulevard, the main road into Yangmingshan National Park, this century-old school is physically and historically inseparable from the mountain, hot-spring, and volcanic geography that gives the whole area — and Yangming Senior High School below it — their shared name. See the Taipei county page for more on the region.
