Built on reclaimed land, for a growing district.
Yongping Elementary was established in 1982, with its own campus built atop a reclaimed former garbage dump hill in Yonghe. Before the campus was completed in 1984, students initially borrowed classrooms at four other schools around the district. At its peak, the school grew to more than 100 classes, reflecting Yonghe's rapid, land-scarce urban expansion in the 1980s.
永平國小創立於民國71年（1982年），校舍建於填平後的永和舊垃圾山之上。在民國73年（1984年）校舍完工前，學生初期需借用區內其他四所學校的教室上課。學校鼎盛時期班級數超過百班，反映永和地區1980年代土地稀缺下的快速都市擴張。
What makes this school worth knowing.
♻️ Built on Reclaimed Land
填平垃圾山而建
The school's campus was built atop a reclaimed former garbage dump hill, a striking example of land-scarce Yonghe repurposing marginal ground for public use.
🏫 Once Over 100 Classes Strong
曾逾百班規模
At its peak, Yongping Elementary grew to more than 100 classes, one of the larger schools produced by Yonghe's dense 1980s population growth.
🚌 Borrowed Classrooms Before Its Own Campus
校舍完工前借教室上課
Before its own campus was completed in 1984, students attending the newly founded school borrowed classrooms at four other schools around the district.
Repurposing scarce land for a growing city.
The school's construction on a former landfill mirrors Yonghe's rapid, land-scarce urban densification, where even marginal land had to be repurposed for schools. See the New Taipei county page for more on the region.
