Taiwan Trip 2015 Day 9 Part 1 ~ Maokong Gondola | 貓空纜車

Day 9 morning was unplanned! I initially wanted to go to Yangmingshan but Guide Chen said the travelling time is not worth it and hence I planned to visit Maokong instead!

Firstly, breakfast! I had my toast. Yums.

Though now I try to cut out carbs so no more for me!



As we had about the same breakfast daily in TP, I dint take the photos. We head to Maokong station for the Gondola!

Take the Brown Line 1 to the terminus station, Taipei Zoo (動物園). Transfer to the Maokong Gondola, a cable-car service that climbs up the mountain to the peak at Maokong.





Lucky we were there early at ard 930am! Not many people and we boarded the gondola very quickly!




Queuing to board the Gondola!


You can use Easycard for the Gondola ride and get 20NTD off single trip! Think is was abt 100nTF per trip, same price for crystal and normal cabin. So we took the crystal one!


On board! But scared lol.



We kept doing this to prove that we took the crystal cabin LOL.




2 scaredy cats lol.






It's actually not very steep. So not scary though it's crystal cabin.




Round 2!




BCX is scared so keep taking lol. There's a walking trail below!




Photo spam time!

I look fairer and less galbi here!


Sadly, just cos of the lighting lol.



We're actually not very high up from the trees!




Higher and higher we go!
















Haha scaredy cat no 1 says: no big deal!




was quite foggy that day.


A temple at one of the stops!


Happyboy99 aka scaredy cat no 2 gave thumbs up cos we're at the station! LOL.

The signage behind states we're one stop from Maokong!



Higher we go to Maokong!








Scaredy cat no 2 still looks scared lol!





And we finally reached Maokong! Ride took around 25 mins.
