I'd have never imagined myself enjoying a cable car ride so much but I really did. The price is pretty out of the way but it's definitely worth making a trip down specially for the cable car because it's so cheap yet fun.

We took the gondola all the way to the top, and there were spectacular views. At the top there are food stands, a few paths for hiking and many, many tea shops. We had tea and ice cream looking out over the mountain top. It was a great way to spend the afternoon. The gondola is walking distance from the... More

Snuggle up with a cutie for almost 3 hours. I went at night, less busy and dark... Perfect time to, well you know... :) just remember to keep the weight inside the gondola balanced!

Very cheap 25 minute cable car ride up the mountain from Taipéi zoo to Maokong mountain. Excellent vews of Taipéi in the distance, especially at night, can recomend the Longmen Restuarant for great food and best views, It´s a tea growing área so interesting tea shops and museums, temples etc....well worth a visit.

The walking distance to Maokong Gondola station is about 10 minutes & the ticket for return gondola ride is NT100, whether crystal/normal cabin. On the way up the hill, u can view southern part of Taipei, lush greenery, some tea plantations and... More

Highly recommended to take the 20min scenic ride.Costs you next to nothing (NT50) for single trip ride. It's a short MRT ride from the city, get nice views from the mountain top (can see Taipei 101), good walking trail and good food. If you visit during the flowers season eg Mar for cherry blossom and lupin, you get a bonus!... More

i am doing research for the place. Seem like the location using the android is wrong for Mao kong it is very far away from the actual place
