Doumen Ancient Trail
Jinsha Township · Nature & Scenery
Doumen Ancient Trail is a newer mountain route for climbing Mount Taiwu. Because it was once under military control, the trail has retained a relatively untouched natural landscape, with open views and rich ecology along the way. The trailhead is near Doumen at the foot of Mount Taiwu, and the endpoint is the place where Zheng Chenggong watched military drills and played chess. Although the total length is only about 1 kilometer, the steep ascent makes it far from easy, and one section is carved into a steep granite outcrop, adding a sense of rugged adventure.
