View from the the cable car on the ride up Maokong
Sunset and the mountains
Maokong is a attractive little village located at the top of a mountain that has a breathtaking view of the Taipei City. It is also known as the best spot in Taipei to drink locally grown tea that is of good quality. The best way to get to Maokong is to take the Maokong Gondola cable car from the Taipei Zoo Station (MRT). The cable car ride up also provides a great view of the Taipei City as well. It also has some nice hiking trails if you'll like to hike around the mountains, and relax after with a nice pot of tea. If you'd like to visit, it's recommended to visit in the afternoon and take the cable car down during sunset to enjoy the view. There's not much to do on the mountains after sunset.
