Fujiping Old Trail Introduction
The Fuji Ancient Trail is located in the Wanli District of New Taipei City. It is also known as the "Dajian Ancient Trail" because it runs along the southeastern ridge of Dajian Mountain. Dajian Mountain is a conical volcanic remnant that resembles Japan's Mount Fuji, which is how it earned the nickname "Little Mount Fuji," giving rise to the name of the "Fuji" Ancient Trail. At the entrance of the ancient trail stands a monument that details its origins. During the Japanese colonial period, as the cattle grazing areas around Huangzuishan were developed, this mountain path was opened to facilitate livestock farming and connect with routes such as Yulu Ancient Trail and Wankeng Ancient Trail. The entrance to the Fuji Ancient Trail can be accessed via the Wankeng Road above the National Palace Museum, passing through Fenggui Cliff, turning left after passing Lingquan Temple, crossing the Wubashi Bridge at the creek bottom, and reaching the Daping Creek Branch Campus. From the campus entrance, visitors can ascend the northwestern ridge of Dajian Mountain, following the riverside path until reaching the endpoint at Dajian Mountain's vast grassland, referred to as "Fuji Plain."
