About Fengpu Elementary School
Fengpu Elementary School is located on the west of Fengxian New Township in the outskirts of Shanghai, Fengpu Elementary School is located in an area that used to be an industrial district, and over the years, this district has been revitalized and converted into a new residential area in Fengxian New Township. A century-old ginkgo tree and a small, faux-antique building from the 1970s are on the school grounds. The tree and the building are separate entities, capped by another fence wall miming a pseudo-antique style. These things form a unique community within the classroom.
