Soar above the city and enjoy breathtaking views of Greater Taipei from the fully transparent Crystal Cabin. Gaze at the distant mountain scenery or look down to admire the passing landscapes below.

Taking the cable car usually involves waiting in line, with separate queues for the standard cabin and the Crystal Cabin. The Crystal Cabin features a fully transparent reinforced glass floor, allowing passengers to admire the mountain views above and the breathtaking scenery below.
