    The gondola sits 6, but 4 will be comfortable. Not ventilation is bad, utilized only the small window open hence it can be quiet stuff. Beside this, you can realty enjoy the tranquil environment

    Walk around the zoo then get the gondola to the top. Line up for the crystal floor cabin (not always available). Once you get to the top try one of the many tea houses around.

    Worth the 120 especially the crystal cabin but you can also get the BR015 bus from the MRT or get it back down. Taxis will take you down for 75pp

    Come during the weekdays where the queues are a lot shorter. At the top (Maokong Station) you'll find plenty of teahouses to enjoy a quiet afternoon.

    There are so many tea houses with great views of Taipei. Plan the night time views are amazing. Just beware that winds and rains will force the gondola to close

    Nice scenery and definitely the best alternative if going up the mountain. NOT NICE IF WINDY! Take MRT (brown line) to Taipei Zoo Station and follow signs

    Cost about 120 yuan to get all the way to the top. Take the taxi down because it's only 70 yuan per person.

    Two options of car selection. Eg crystal or non crystal. Basically is referring to the bottom of the car.

    The Gondola is closed for maintenance every Monday. If it's a public holiday on Monday, then it'll be closed on the following day.

    悠遊卡が使用可能。持ってる人は入場券の列に並ばずそのまま建物に入って乗り場へ向かってOK。券売機自体は建物の入口と建物内2F,3Fとそれぞれあるので購入する人はそこで。平日に悠遊卡を使うと20元割引。また、動物園駅から乗った後もう一度乗車した場合も20元割引。(悠遊卡を持つ人に限る)総じて現金利用よりも悠遊卡を利用した方が優遇されるようになっている。

    예약 하고 오는 것이 좋습니다. 그냥 오면 사람이 엄청 많아요. Make a reservation to take a crystal cabin.

    床が透明な「貓纜之眼」水晶車廂は改札を通った先で乗り場が分かれている。31台あって2-4分で来るとされているが、予約もできず一発勝負。1台5人乗りが原則なので団体客などがいると…

    นั่งกระเช้าที่เป็น Crystal จะได้บรรยากาศมากกว่า ราคาก็เท่ากัน แต่ว่าต่อคิวยาวหน่อยแนะนำว่าให้มาวันธรรมดาคนไม่เยอะ

    床が全面透明、360度ビューのキャビンは66番ゴンドラ。予約不可、乗車できるかどうかは完全な運。
