Here is what the "gondolas" look like. Good thing I left my fear of heights on the zip line in Costa Rica! Compared to that, this 20-minute ride was no big deal!
Me, Helen, and Kyle in the gondola...
A sign for one of the many tea shops. We came back here later... it sounded pretty good, despite the incorrect English!
A little mountain stream that we cooled off in...
A big thunderstorm hit during the afternoon so we waited it out in an information center...
Heading out again after the rain!
"Well View, Well Tea, Well Food" shop...
A spot of tea, Taiwan-style...
Some hot tea on a hot afternoon... notice I'm sweating profusely, but it still tasted amazing. So cool that it was grown on the same mountain where I drank it!
The sunset from the gondola, on our way back down...
We got off at the Zhinan Temple to have a look around...
Helen and I by the "Statue of Aloving Mother" (that's what it said on the sign)
And this would be the "Pavillion for Belaxation," according to the sign! We belaxed for a little while...
Dusk falling on Taipei...
Zhinan Temple
A good end to a good day... the lights of Taipei were beautiful. See Taipei 101 to the right?

So fun to see more of the scenery around there. Not so sure I could do a 20 minute ride on that thing. You look great!
