Maokong Gondola Station

空氣好，環境舒適，貓空山上的轉運機能不錯

這是動物園前往貓空之間的纜車站終點站，動物園至此站的單程票價為120元，路線翻山越嶺、景色優美。出站右側階梯上方有一個後花園，天氣好的話可遠眺。 貓空纜車兩站之間的路線長度約4.03公里，日月潭纜車的路線長度約1.877公里。 貓空纜車頭尾兩站的海拔高度相差275.2公尺，若有懼高症者不宜搭乘纜車，建議改搭公共汽車小巴士較妥。

Convenient!

Nice view

The Maokong Gondola is a cable car ride that runs from Taipei to Maokong Hill. The route takes around a half -hour or so one way and provides breath-taking views of the lush green hills and surrounding areas along the way. The starting point for the ride is the Maokong Gondola station a short walk down the main road from the Taipei Zoo MRT station on the Brown line. When you exit the station, you will be able to see the signs for the Gondola station. Note that the Gondola is unlikely to operate during bad weather, so plan your trip accordingly. Please ensure that you have the requisite amount of credit loaded onto your Easy Card for a hassle-free ride. Be sure to check out the Taipei Maokong Gondola web page for pricing of fares, as there are a few short stops along the way including one for the beautiful Chih Nan Temple, just before reaching the final stop at Maokong Hill. There are Gondolas which have a full glass bottom and others that do not. Opt for the former to make the most of some excellent views that the cable car ride provides. The fare for both is the same. The signs at the station should guide you to the correct queue – if in doubt ask the staff who will help. When you reach the final stop – the Gondola Station at Maokong - be sure to check out the short minibus round trip ride that is available for free for Easy Pass holders. The minibus stop is but a few meters to the right as soon as you exit the Maokong Gondola station. It is a very short minibus round trip but will allow you to get a feel of the area which you can then plan for a walk if you wish. There are a number of hiking trails as well at Maokong for the more adventurous. There is an information desk at the Maokong station if needed. A short walk down the road that runs just perpendicular to the station there is a restaurant with a brown wooden open-air terrace that provide an excellent view on a clear day. You can enjoy lunch and an excellent view with the Taipei 101 building in the far distance! If you should take the minibus ride, it will take this road when returning to the station, so you can't miss it. My wife and I took the ride to Maokong on the morning of the last day of our visit to Taipei. Totally worth it!

Dont take the 75NT per pax for 15min cab. If you use the Easycard to pay for the gondola, you can get a free bus ride down! Gondola trip is about 20mins long. Great view and not crowded in the morning and afternoon. Taipei citizens have a discount for the gondola. Clean station.
