Fujiping Ancient Trail Introduction
The Fujigudao is located in Wanli District, New Taipei City. It runs along the southeastern ridge of Dajian Mountain, thus also known as the "Dajian Ancient Road." Dajian Mountain is a cone-shaped volcanic remnant that resembles Mount Fuji in Japan, which is the origin of the name "Little Mount Fuji," and consequently, the name of the Fujigudao. At the entrance of the ancient road, there is a monument that details the history of the path. During the Japanese colonial era, it was developed in conjunction with the pastoral area around Sulfur Mouth Mountain, to facilitate livestock farming for residents and to connect with the Fish Route Ancient Road, Wankeng Ancient Road, and others. The entrance to the Fujiping Ancient Road can be accessed via the Wankeng Road above the National Palace Museum, crossing Fenggui Mouth and proceeding past Lingquan Temple. After crossing the Fifth Bridge at the streambed, one arrives at the Daping Streambed Branch School, and then ascends to the northwestern ridge of Dajian Mountain from the school. Following the streamside path leads to the endpoint of the Fujigudao, which is the Dajian Mountain Grassland, known as "Fujiping."
