Description of Our Community: one would never truly know the natural beauty of Shih-Lin if one has never been there; one would never feel the cultural density of Shih-Lin if one does not reside there. However, even if one were lucky enough to live in Shih-Lin, one would still need to have the sincere willingness to explore this treasure-filled area, in order to visit the elderly in front of the stone steps of ancient temples, and listen to word of wisdom flow from the learned and aged. As the elementary school fortunate enough be situated geographically in the midst of all this history and culture and atmosphere, Shih-Lin elementary cordially invites you to join us on a voyage back in time, and witness how our rock, The Chee-Shan Rock, shone and showered itself with such mesmerizing memories and glorious history. Come, the Rock awaits.

Project Description: Chee-Shan Rock¡]the Rock¡^sits on a small hill between the Shih-Lin district and Yang-Ming Mountain. It is not literally a piece of rock, but rather a miniature hill where green is the dominant color, with over 400 different types of plant life; residents can reminisce the past along the path, where monuments and memorials celebrate the heroic deeds of combat soldiers who fought against Japan in the ¡¨8-year-war¡¨,or simply enjoy the ten magnificent artifacts that record such touching tales such as the ¡§Murky-water port story¡¨ or the ¡§stone-horse story¡¨. Not only a favorite getaway for a leisurely weekend, but also a cultural treasure place that no one ought to miss.
