As time goes by, human activities give them more connotations." The Tianzhi Ancient Trail, located in Huzhou's Wuxing District between Mao Wu Village, Wushi Wu Village and Sandie Village, is the longest preserved ancient trail in Wuxing District. In the past, transportation was inconvenient and mountain people on both sides relied on this trail to travel to and from their homes.

This is the longest ancient trail in Wuxing District - the entrance to the Tianzi ancient trail is 2 km away from the Beautéville.
