Yucheng Old Trail Introduction
Yucheng Road Ancient Trail is one of the three major ancient trails in the western region of Daxi River (the other two are Zhaiming Temple Ancient Trail and Panlongqi Ancient Trail). The term "Yucheng" suggests that royal family members once visited this area. This ancient trail, built in 1788, originally served as a path for local residents to trade with Hsinchu and Longtan. In 1923, due to the visit of the Crown Prince to Taiwan, local gentry raised funds to reconstruct it into the stone-paved road seen today. The entrance to the ancient trail is located at the back gate of National Defense Medical Center, where a Yucheng Road Monument has been established, listing the names of the donors.
