We waited ~30mins for a glass bottom gondola ("Eyes of Maokong"). While it was cool and a bit scary in the beginning, it wasn't worth it to wait again on the return trip.

One of our gondola-mates was fascinated by Alex's video recording.
We had some snack when we got to the top!

The Google MyTracks log of the gondola route! The red line on the chart is elevation and blue is speed - The bumps on the elevation chart are when we went over each peak of the mountain, and the highest one is the Maokong Station. The speed drops every time we go into a station even if we don't get off.
After we got back to the base of the mountain, we still had to get back to the city. I went back to the Guanghua Digital Plaza and picked up a fair amount of electronic components to add to my collection at home.
We went out for dinner, and this was just along the way home as we were walking home from dinner.
At 8:30pm, we spontaneously decided to go visit the Grand Hotel before the weekend crowd came since we had a car.

Hey look it's us!
The hotel is situated on the river, so we took a quick look at the river as well
The hotel from the back - This was hastily snapped so the perspective is kind of off
