Fengnian Elementary School is a small school in Taitung County. In addition to the standard grades 1 through 6, the school was expanded in 2019 to include two kindergarten classes. Fengnian also has a special education program that opened in 2012, where students of any grade can get the extra help that they need. The school is conveniently located on the outskirts of Taitung City, on Zhongxing Road, with easy access to public transportation. It is close to the Taitung County Council, RT-Mart, and Naruwan Hotel.

The school is located on the land of an early Amis tribe named "Asiroay”. Asiroay means tangerine, as the tribe was named after the many tangerine trees in the area. Fengnian tries to honor its roots, and has published a picture book titled Asiroay. The book is a retelling of an old Asiroay story with beautiful illustrations by Fengnian students. These old indigenous stories carry the culture of the people from which they come. Fengnian’s book, Asiraoy, seeks to show the traditional culture of the Amis, a simple and optimistic matriarchal society. They are known for their pure voices and original dances that flow like the wind.

　　 Nowadays, Fengnian is proud to be a diverse, multi-ethnic school. There are around 80 elementary school students, with an additional 55 students in kindergarden. These students all come from different cultures and backgrounds. In addition to the Amis indigenous people, there are also Bunun, Paiwan, Puyuma, Hakka, Han, and other ethnic groups at Fengnian.

　　 In recent years, residential and commercial infrastructure has increased around the school. A larger population has given rise to more everyday activity and also a stronger local community. The nearby community is closely connected to Fengnian and is just as diverse with people working on farms, at restaurants, or in other service industry positions. Despite the closeness of the community, parents often have to work long hours and cannot always take care of the students after school. As many as 70% of Fengnian’s students need some extra support which is provided in the form of after school programs, and special education teachers. This ensures that all students are given the opportunity to succeed no matter what their background is.

        The school was established in 1955 as the Fengnian branch of Kangle Elementary school before eventually splitting into a separate school in 1963. The original school building was built in 1964 and received a subsidy in 2004 for repairs and renovations. The current building of the school was completed and opened in 2007. Including the basement, the new school building has four floors and a variety of facilities and resources for the students to take advantage of. Each class has a dedicated classroom along specialized rooms for all sorts of different subjects. In addition, the school has a large courtyard as an activity spaces for students from which they can see both the Dulan Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.

　　 Fengnian used to have a very strong baseball team and fostered many well-known players, such as the Japanese pitcher Guo Yuanzhi. He went on to win the 2006 Xie Guocheng Cup National Little League Championship, and obtained the national representation of the William Porter World Little League. Under the support and assistance of community parents and the guidance of coach Yang Qingwen, the Fengnian elementary baseball team won numerous awards. However, due to the low birth rate and thus fewer students, our baseball team was disbanded in 2013. The baseball field and fence was damaged by Typhoon Nibert and Moranti in 2016, so for safety reasons, it had to be removed. It was replaced by a new track and field which encourages the students to participate in extracurricular sports activities.
