Fujiping Historic Trail Introduction
The Fuji Old Trail is located in Wanli District, New Taipei City. It runs along the southeastern ridge of Dajian Mountain and is also known as the "Dajian Ancient Trail." Dajian Mountain is a conical volcanic relic that resembles Mount Fuji in Japan, which is how it got the nickname "Little Fuji," thus giving the Fuji Old Trail its name. There is a stele at the entrance of the old trail that details its origins. During the Japanese colonial era, as the grazing areas around Fuzi Mountain were developed, this path was opened to facilitate livestock farming and to connect to other trails such as the Fish Road Old Trail and the Wanshan Old Trail. The entrance to the Fuji Old Trail can be accessed via the National Palace Museum along the Wanshan Road, crossing Fenggui Cape and turning left after passing Lingquan Temple. After crossing the No. 5 Bridge at the stream bottom to reach the Daping Creek Branch School, one can ascend to the northwest ridge of Dajian Mountain from the school, proceeding along the creek side to the endpoint at the Dajian Mountain Grassland, known as "Fuji Flat."
