The gondola cable cars take you from the edge of Taipei over 300 meters up to Maokong Station in the mountain range beyond the city. Although there is a ‘crystal cabin’ option with glass-bottomed cars, we took the standard gondola cars in both directions to and from Maokong Station where we stopped for lunch. The views going up and coming back are breathtaking, the panoramic vistas incredible! Highly recommend!

The Maokong gondola stops at Taipei Zoo, Zhinan Temple and the Maokong station. The Maokong station stop at the top of the mountain offers a panoramic view of the city and visitors can try delicacies like noodles with tea oil and glutinous rice with bamboo shoots.

A very enjoyable day trip taking the cable car from Taipei Zoo MRT Station to Maokong where there are several short hiking trails with waterfalls and brooks. We saw many butterflies and dragonflies and came across miniature crabs, as well as many interesting plant species. There were a few steep flights of stairs along the way but overall, the hiking trails are relatively safe and easy to walk. For lunch we ate at a restaurant on the main road with tea-themed dishes such as tea fried rice and tea-smoked duck. While you are here in tea country, it is worth visiting a tea house and have tea prepared for you with pomp and ceremony while you enjoy the spectacular mountain views. The tea house experience is not exactly cheap and depends on the quality of tea that you have chosen. As it was a hot day, we also stopped for some refreshing tea jelly and oolong tea ice cream. We were very lucky to be able to get down by cable car as well because it started raining and the service was then suspended due to thunderstorm activity.
