By Cable Car
The Maokong Gondola (http://gondola.trtc.com.t...) runs from Taipei Zoo MRT station to Maokong, with stops at the Taipei Zoo South and Zhinan Temple stations. A one-way fare to Maokong is NT$50, a bargain for this type of transport. Two bus lines (http://www.taipeibus.taip...) serve the Maokong area: bus number S10, which departs from the Wanfang Community MRT Station, and bus number BR15, which can be boarded at the Taipei Zoo and Taipei City Hall MRT stations.
After a long outage due to typhoon damage, the gondola is now back in service as of March 2010.
