| Maokong Gondola Station |
When taking Maokong Gondola (Cable), the last stop is Maokong Station. Maokong is located in the Southeast corner of Taipei City. Literally, Maokong means "Cat's Hollows". But it has nothing to do with cats. The place is a mountain ranges with its beautiful scenery, and its tea plantation.
What to do in Maokong?
Tea Drinking in Maokong
There are about 70 Tea Houses in 3 zones (yellow, blue, red) in Maokong.
Visiting Temples in Maokong
There are several temples in the area, the photo above is the Zhinan Temple in Red Zone.
Appreciating Tea in Maokong
Maokong has also several Tea Promotion Centers teaching the tourists the differences, the process, and benefits of tea drinking. They also offer free taste of their tea specialization.
Hiking in Maokong
Aside from taking the Maokong Gondola, some people come here for hiking. The whole family can also spend all day walking in Taipei Zoo.
These are some of the activities in Maokong. I'll come back again and visit the other zones (blue and yellow).

Cable cars are a lovely way to travel. The tea tastings must be so interesting.
The cars are so cute with the animals on. Tea, hiking and green scenery, a perfect day.
I hate cable cars...lol...but that is one impressive teapot!
nice shots
happy WW
