Built in 1931, Nanzhong School is in the first batch of protected historical buildings in Shenzhen and one of the immovable cultural relics in Pingshan. White walls, green tiles, cornices, and carved pillars demonstrate a distinctive Southeast Asian architectural style.
The school was originally built for the children in two local villages. Unlike other schools in those old days, Nanzhong School accepted girls and even married women as students. It also offered courses in nature, art, music, and physical education, filling the gap of physical and artistic education in traditional schools in the early 20th century. In 2018, Pingshan District renovated it into one of the district’s community libraries, and painting exhibitions are regularly held here.
