Fun Maokong Gondola ride

#hiddengems In Taipei, we decided to take the Maokong gondola to explore all the way up to where the tea plantations are located. We chose the glass bottomed gondola over the normal one as it was slightly more expensive but the experience was alot more worthwhile. While most of the shops were closed as we went there close to the Chinese New Year period, there were fortunately a few smaller shops available for a quick snack of soybean drink and glutinous rice mochi.
