Fujiping Historical Trail Introduction
The Fuji Trail is located in the Wanli District of New Taipei City. It follows the southeastern ridge of Mount Dajian, also known as the "Dajian Ancient Trail." Mount Dajian is a conical volcanic remnant that resembles Mount Fuji in Japan, earning it the nickname "Little Fuji," which is the origin of the name of the "Fuji" Trail. At the entrance of the ancient trail, there is a stone tablet detailing the history of the trail. During the Japanese occupation, it was opened to facilitate the herding of cattle in the area around Sulfur Mouth Mountain and to connect with other trails such as the Fish Route Ancient Trail and the Wanxi Ancient Trail. The entrance to the Fuji Trail can be accessed from the Palace Museum up the Wanxi Road, crossing Fengguizui, turning left past Lingquan Temple, crossing the Five Bridge at the creek bottom to reach the Dapingxi Bottom Branch School, and then ascending the northwestern ridge of Mount Dajian from the school. Following the creek bank, the endpoint of the Fuji Trail is the large grassland at the top of Mount Dajian, known as "Fuji Flat."
