For some of the most breathtaking views of Taipei, you have to take a ride on the Maokong Gondola. This scenic cable car journey glides you over lush, green hillsides, offering a peaceful escape from the city buzz. Opt for one of the crystal cabins with a glass floor for a thrilling perspective of the treetops right beneath your feet. At the top, you'll find a charming area famous for its tea plantations, where you can wander through the fields and relax in a traditional teahouse with a fresh brew.
