A campus that moved with the changing city.
Zhonghua Elementary was founded on August 1, 1958, with its original campus on Linsen Road in downtown Hualien City — a site that today has become the city's Citizens Plaza. After Typhoon Ofelia damaged the campus and enrollment in the area declined, the school relocated to its current site on October 30, 1993. It later added a dedicated PE class track in 2008, rounding out its sports facilities for the community it now serves.
中華國小創立於民國47年（1958年）8月1日，原校址位於花蓮市區的林森路，如今該地已成為花蓮市的市民廣場。因歐菲莉颱風造成校舍損壞，加上當地就學人口減少，學校於民國82年（1993年）10月30日遷至現址。民國97年（2008年）並增設體育班專用跑道，完善運動設施。
