The Longding Ancient Path, formerly known as the Tianyan Ancient Path, was the most convenient mountain trail for ancestors to travel from Yuanlin to Nantou for trade. It is currently well-planned and serves as a shortcut for traversing the Baiguo Mountain range between Nantou and Yuanlin. Along the way, ancient trees provide ample shade; walking this ancient path not only allows for physical exercise but also offers the opportunity to learn about many plants rarely seen in urban areas. The Longding Ancient Path is currently well-planned, with a trail length of approximately 1,500 meters, ending at Fengshan Temple on Baiguo Mountain in Nantou, where visitors can take a detour. Most people access the Longding Ancient Path through the Daoren Pit trailhead, entering at Guangtian Temple, which is well-equipped with facilities, including restrooms and drinking fountains, allowing visitors to take a short break here.
