What makes this school worth knowing.
🌾 Anchored in the "Middle Pile"
六堆「中堆」核心
The school sits in Zhutian Township, historically known as "Zhong Dui" (中堆, Middle Pile) of the Liudui Hakka confederation — a farming community with deep Hakka settlement roots.
🚉 Near a Living Rail Heritage Site
鄰近百年火車站文化園區
The township's preserved 1919 wooden Zhutian Station — the last of its kind in Pingtung — sits close by, a landmark tied to the area's old "Dunwu" rice-trading identity.
🏘️ A Village-Rooted Campus
扎根西勢村
Located in Xishi Village, the school serves as a community fixture for families across Zhutian Township's farming villages.
Rooted in the Liudui Hakka heartland.
Zhutian Township is the "Zhong Dui" (中堆, Middle Pile) of the historic Liudui 六堆 Hakka militia confederation, formed by Qing-era Hakka settlers from Guangdong and Fujian to defend their farming communities. Once known as "Dunwu" (頓物) for its role as a rice and grain trading depot — with goods shipped via Longjing Creek and the Donggang River to Donggang port — the township today is also home to the Pingtung County Hakka Culture Museum. Zhutian Junior High's students grow up immersed in this living Hakka heritage. See the Pingtung county page for more on the region.
