Fuji Ping Ancient Trail Introduction
The Fuji Trail is located in Wanli District, New Taipei City, and is also known as the "Dajian Ancient Trail" because it runs along the southeastern ridge of Mount Dajian. Mount Dajian is a conical volcanic remnant, resembling Japan's Mount Fuji, which is why it is referred to as "Little Fuji," giving the trail its name. A stele at the entrance of the ancient trail details its origins. During the Japanese occupation, it was developed to facilitate the residents' livestock farming and to connect with other trails such as the Yuluxu Ancient Trail and the Wanxi Ancient Trail in the area surrounding Sulfur Hat Mountain. The entrance to the Fuji Trail can be accessed via the National Palace Museum along Wanxi Road, crossing Fengguiwei and proceeding past Lingquan Temple. After crossing the No. 5 Bridge at the creek bottom to reach the Dapingxi Branch School, one can ascend the northwestern ridge of Mount Dajian from the school entrance, following the creekside trail. The end point of the Fuji Trail, the Dajian Grassland, is referred to as "Fuji Flat."
