Text by MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

Located in Taitung County, Fengyuan Elementary School has been dubbed the most beautiful elementary school by netizens. Due to repeated damage caused by visitors and the disruption to students’ holiday learning activities on campus, the school will no longer be open to the public starting today. The school administration has also posted notices on its official website and official Facebook page to announce the ban on visits.

The new school buildings of Fengyuan Elementary School, completed in 2012, differ from traditional school architecture. The blue-and-white walled buildings, paired with church-like windows... create a uniquely beautiful and Mediterranean-style campus environment. Many tourists and photography enthusiasts flock to the school gates, and even international visitors come specifically to admire them.

Since the inauguration of Fengyuan Elementary School's campus buildings, the influx of visitors has never ceased, turning the school into a well-known scenic spot. However, the visiting crowds have also become a source of distress for the school. Due to repeated damage caused by visitors, after discussions among all teaching staff, it was unanimously decided that the campus would no longer be open to the public, including both holidays and non-holidays.
