The Ancient Wenchang Path connects two mountain ridges over 600 meters above sea level, Wenshan Ridge and Ba Ridge, with a 2000-meter-long horizontal road in between. Six pavilions were built along the way for mountain people to rest while working or visiting relatives. The Ancient Wenchang Path was once the main passage for the people of Dazhouyuan to the outside world. The people of Dazhouyuan used this path to carry rice to Jingde, study in the county town, and do business in Zhejiang. The ancient path from Chakou Village to Wenshan Village is about 2.5 kilometers long, with 1736 stone steps. Wenshan Village is a true mountain village, with almost no flat land. The houses are built on the mountainside at an altitude of about 600 meters. There is a place called "Hundred-Step Ladder" in the middle of the ancient path, with more than a hundred steps built along the cliff, curving around the mountain pass. The people of Wenshan Village say that the stonemason who built this place boasted that if any stone slab became loose decades later, he would use silver dollars to level it. Nearly a hundred years have passed, and the "Hundred-Step Ladder" is still firm and neat.
