Datong Elementary School

Datong Elementary is thought to date to around 1920, during the Japanese colonial era, according to third-party sources, though its earliest records are not directly confirmed. As the elementary school carrying the township's own name, it sits along Provincial Highway 7 and today enrolls fewer than 100 students — a small, close-knit rural school known for its distinctive rainbow-colored running track. To reach the dispersed mountain settlements of Datong Township, the school operates two branch campuses, Songluo and Leshui, extending its reach further into remote terrain.
