The exchange school I’m currently attending is a beautiful elementary school located in the heart of the city—Gongyuan Elementary School. It feels like a small park hidden in the city, with tall trees all around the campus. No matter the season—spring, summer, fall, or winter—the scenery changes and always brings a sense of peace and comfort the moment you step inside.

Gongyuan Elementary School has a long and rich history—it is 127 years old. It was already around during the Japanese colonial period, and at that time, it was called "Hana-Zono " (花園尋常小學校はなぞのじんじょうしょうがっこう), a name that sounds like it came straight out of a fairy tale.

Studying in a school filled with history and greenery is a truly special experience. I cherish every day here, because it’s not just a place to learn, but also a place where I can make new friends and discover the beauty of nature.
