山尖古道是昔日聯絡九份與水湳洞地區的一條道路，隨著公路的開闢，這條古道便因少人行走而逐漸沒落。後來蛻為休閒步道，命名為「山尖路觀光步道」或「山尖步道」。步道沿途有水圳橋遺跡、外九份溪淘金溪谷、石壁小徑等景點。
The Shanjian Historical trail was a road connecting Jiufen and Shuinadong in the past. With the construction of the highway, this ancient road gradually declined due to fewer people walking. Later it was transformed into a leisure trail, named "Shanjian Road Tourist Trail" or "Shanjian Trail". Along the trail, there are many attractions such as the ruins of Aqueduct Bridges and the WaiJiufen Creek gold jpanning valley, rock wall trail, etc.
