Tainan Travel

This special building always attracts people walking across Ximen Road. The Bao Public School main building was built in 1938. As it was named according to its administrative district Baoding (Bao District), it should be call “Bao” public school in place of “Baogong” school in Mandarin Chinese. In fact, visitors are often confused by this. It was the largest and the most modernized public school in Tainan during Japanese colonization. It has a very special architectural form featuring a L-shape structure with the corner cut as the main building where the entrance and main stairways are located. Both wings are the administrative space and classrooms. Today, it is the Zhongxiao Building of Liren Elementary School and the spiritual symbol of both students and teachers. When passing by Ximen Road, visitors can stop by and take a real good look at gorgeous and peculiar building.
