The Maokong Gondola will be closed for annual maintenance from May 9 to May 31, 2016, 
A notice posted on the gondola’s official website said the gondola is operating as normal on May 2.
The entire gondola journey has six stations (four passenger stations and two angle stations), 25 piers and 47 towers. The full length of the route is 4.03 kilometers, roughly in the shape of a numeral 7. The gondola provides passengers with an aerial view of the tea plantations in Maokong.
