Taipei - LONGEST CABLE CAR RIDE! Maokong Gondola Tour in Taipei - 貓空纜車

How to take the Taipei Cable Car, called the Maokong Gondola (in Chinese 貓空纜車) up to the Tea Plantations located on the mountains just outside Taipei, Taiwan. We also show you how to buy tickets for the Taipei Cable Car (Maokong Gondola), and show you the prices of the tickets and how you pay for them. This is just one of our many Taipei Travel Guide videos.

This Taipei travel video begins where we have just arrived at the Maokong Gondala (Taipei Cableway) on a Taipei MRT Train. We make our way to the Maokong Gondola (貓空纜車) building where we show you the price of the tickets to ride the Cable Car and also tell you about the types of Cable Car available. There are two choices of cable cars to ride at the Maokong Gondolas, a standard cable car and a glass bottomed cable car (called Crystal Cabins). We chose to ride a standard cable car as we wanted to have the cable car to ourselves as we were filming this video. The queue for the Glass Floor Cable Car was too long and even if we waited in the queue we would have to share the cable car with other travelers which would not be practical as we were filming this Taipei Travel Guide video.

Once we get onboard our Gondola (cable car) we show you parts of the journey as we make our way from the Maokong Gondola (貓空纜車) to the Tea Plantations located at the top of the mountain. On the way up we pass over jungle, the Taipei Zoo, some Chinese Temples until we eventually reach our destination, the peak at Maokong. This Taiwan Cable Car system is 4.3 kilometers long and there are 4 stops along the way, Taipei Zoo (動物園), Taipei Zoo South (動物園南), Zhinan Temple (指南宮), Maokong (Saxuan Temple) (貓空). Detailed information about Ticket Prices for the cable-way, and yes you can use the Taipei Easycard as this Cable Car Network is part of the Taipei MRT System, can be viewed on the Maokong Gondola website. This is part 1 of our trip to the Tea Plantations of Maokong where we show you the ride on this fantastic cableway. In part 2 we show you the Tea Houses and take you for a walk on the mountain with us.

Wiki writes about the Taipei MRT (Taipei Metro), "Taipei Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), branded as Taipei Metro, is a metro system serving Taipei and New Taipei, Taiwan, operated by government owned Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation, which also operates Maokong Gondola.. Taipei Metro was the first metro system in Taiwan. The initial network was approved for construction in 1986 and work started two years later. The first line opened in 1996 and by 2000, 62 stations were in service on three main lines. Over the next nine years the number of passengers had increased by 70%. Since 2008, the network has expanded to 117 stations and the passenger count has grown by another 66%.. The system has often been praised for its safety, reliability and quality. It has become effective in relieving traffic congestion in Taipei, with over two million trips made daily. The system has also proven effective as a catalyst for urban renewal..."
