The Longding Ancient Trail, formerly known as the Tiao Salt Ancient Trail, was the most convenient mountain path for ancestors traveling from Yuanlin to Nantou for trade. It is now well-planned and serves as a shortcut for traversing the Baigao Mountain Range between Nantou and Yuanlin. Along the way, ancient trees provide ample shade; walking this ancient path not only helps to exercise the body but also allows for the discovery of many urban plants that are hard to find. The Longding Ancient Trail is currently well-developed, with a length of about 1500 meters, ending at the Fengshan Temple on Baigao Mountain in Nantou. Visitors can explore the area here. Typically, most people access the Longding Ancient Trail from the Dairenkeng trailhead, entering through the Guangtian Temple, which is well-equipped with facilities, including restrooms and drinking fountains, providing a place to rest for a moment.
