MingChuan Elementary School, Namasia Kaohsiung 那瑪夏鄉 民權國小

During this visit to Namasia, the guest house owners strongly recommended us to visit MingChuan Elementary School. I could not quite figure out why initially. Then I understood when we were there. The original Namasia MingChuan Elementary School was buried by the landslide after the Typhoon Morakot in 2009. It took 2.5 years with donations from Taiwan people and corporations to complete the rebuild of the school. Delta Electronics Foundation donated NT$500 million to rebuild the Namasia region with NT$150 million went to the school's reconstruction.

The school 's new site was selected on the higher ground of the mountain area. During construction, some ancient culture relic was discovered. In order to preserve the area as a heritage site, the building was constructed lifting off the ground.

What makes the school so special is that the entire school complex has received the highest level "Diamond Award" of Green Building Certificate issued by the Taiwan government. The school's design using many cleaver energy and water saving and lighting ideas, water recycling, LED lighting, solar panel and wind mill etc. The entire school has no air condition, except for the computer room and the library. It was amazing. and worthy a visit. However, in order to avoid the disruption to the children at school, the school is now closed to public.

On the way back home from Ningni Guest House, we visited Sisters small eatery. It is more like a local eating place, rather than a fancy restaurant.

This is our 2nd time visited the place. We liked the food there. They serve some aboriginal food, some local dishes and mountain games. It is a nice little place where we can have some nice lunch before we head back to the city.
