Escape Taipei’s hustle and bustle and get set to go on a scenic cable car ride to the top of the mountain where the peaceful village of Maokong sits. The gondolas have glass bottoms, so you will be getting a 360-degree view of the spectacular landscape as you make your way to the mountain summit. At the town, you can visit the many tea shops and try your pick of flavorful, comforting tea, all with a view of the breathtaking mountainside.
That’s not all - you also get to hop on a double-decker sightseeing bus as a bonus! Catch the urban jungle dazzle in the night as the entire city gets lit up by colorful lights. You will be seeing Taipei from a whole different perspective with this ticket!
