With its Mediterranean architectural style, sloping roof with wave-like design, high arched floor-to-ceiling windows, and elegant blue-trimmed details, Taitung City’s Fengyuan Elementary School is hailed as a “diamond-grade villa elementary school.” The wave-like eaves and surfboard-style roof exude the vibrant blue hues characteristic of Taitung.
