Taipei Zoo & Maokong Gondola

The reasons I insist to visit the Taipei Zoo is because of the two pandas that named TuanTuan and YuanYuan (meaning reunion)  and it is also the largest zoo in Asia. 
The zoo hour: 9am to 5pm (no entry after 4pm) open year round every day. 



A little direction signboard. There's two types of shuttle train here. One is for everyone and another one is especially for kids that below 6 years old (Wawa car). 


 Saw alots of kindergarten school kids here and they got handsome ang moh teacher!

The ang moh teacher asked: Why they (the bird) have long legs?
Kid: Because they live in the water and catch fish.
So smart :3

We then walked to the Koala House but not much koala there.


 Why you hide your face?! 


 Nice and clean street and decent weather also. Way better than Zoo Negara. 

The Panda House. They also separate the two pandas into indoor and outdoor. Don't know why~
Overheard: 
Kid: 为什它叫猫熊?
Mama: 因为它长得又像猫又像熊.
Seriously???


Can spot the panda?

Awake

Sleep again, really lazy hoh.

The outsider. 


 Kangaroo! But why you show me your dumb ass? 

There's a gondola runs between the zoo and MaoKong (tea farm) 
The gondola has two choices for us, one is normal cabin which is similar to the Genting cable car and another one is called Crystal Cabin which is 90% transparent. 
And we all chose the crystal cabin and forget bout the high phobia :3

The capacity is limited to 5 person per cabin. It also called 'Eyes of MaoKong Gondola' 



The whole journey is 4.3km and takes you about 20-25 mins.

 Okay, the zoo is not bad and the crystal cabin gondola is the delight of the zoo trip for me.  

That's all for today post :)
