Maoking Gondola (貓空纜車)

Maokong is famous for its many tea farms and tea houses. Since last year, Taipei retrofitted some of their gondola cars with glass bottoms. It was a rare, sunny day in Taipei so I had to take advantage of this opportunity and try the new glass cars!

I don't do well with heights, but after few minutes, I was enjoying the ride. I'm not the only one that is not fond of heights, as you can see my foot getting stomped on.

The gondola goes all the way up to the top of the mountain where all the tea houses are.

The view is totally worth the trip.
Brewed some tea at this awesome tea house with good company. For a very cheap $50 NTD gondola ticket and a beautiful day, you can enjoy a fun gondola ride and a relaxing cup of tea on top of Taipei's Maokong mountain.
