Nantou County’s Neihu Elementary School is located along County Highway 151, the road to Xitou Forest Recreation Area, and is hailed as the most beautiful forest elementary school in all of Taiwan. The 921 Earthquake caused extensive damage to the school buildings, and securing land for relocation was a long and difficult process, making Neihu Elementary the last of the 293 schools to be rebuilt.

The school’s reconstruction took many years. After relocating here, it integrated with the surrounding natural beauty and adopted ecological education as its goal. Neihu Forest Elementary is entirely built with timber, combining Chinese, Western, and Japanese architectural styles. Its overall planning minimizes disruption to the original ecology, using existing block stones for walls and gravel for paths, preserving the original appearance of the cedar forest on campus. The design fully respects local landscape features. The school is divided into teaching areas, ecological zones, specialized classrooms, administrative offices, dormitory areas, and activity zones. The overall architectural style leans toward Japanese aesthetics, offering a rich charm. The design harmonizes with the original landscape, showcasing the original spread of cedar forests, turning the trees on campus into nature’s most beautiful landscaping.
