Dachukeng Old Trail Introduction
The Dacun Mountain Trail was an early communication route from Houtong to Dacun and Jiufen. Dacun is a mining settlement with a nearly hundred-year history of gold mining. In the past, Jiufen was known as "Little Shanghai," while Dacun was referred to as "Little America." At its peak, it had a population of three thousand and established an affiliated elementary school, Houtong Dawan Branch School, to facilitate the education of children from Dacun. Today, the former prosperity has faded, and both the school and the settlement have become relics of the past.
