Last year, I compiled photos from the different flower fields/gardens that I visited in Japan and USA.

Spring 2019 - I said before that 2019 has been incredibly fast, well, di niya pa kasi kakilala si 2020 na ilang buwan ng gumigising sa walang kasiguraduhan at daily routine na nag simula nung March. lol pero k. HAHAHAHA. NVM. Alam niyo na 'yon. :)))

For this year, I'm compiling all my cable car rides in one post since nag "On This Day"  sa Facebook 'yung Maokong, Taiwan at dahil na-post ko na 'yung kulang which is the Ngong Ping Cable ng HK. 

BALIK-TANAW:


Genting Highlands, Malaysia

This was my first cable car ride and the funniest so far. HAHAHA! Buti di ako na friendship over dito. The friends that I was with during this cable car ride were scared of heights and we all didn't know that it would be this high kaya tuwang tuwa sila sa'kin niyan. Huwag na raw kami umalis ulit kahit kailan pero joke lang syempre, kasi umalis pa rin kami. HAHAHAHA!


Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
 San Jacinto State Park, California, USA

I was ecstatic when I learned that in order to get to the State Park, we were supposed to ride a cable car.  Baka naman Sequioa o Yosemite o Grand Canyon... sayang visa. HAHAHAHA!

Palm Springs Windmills and Baker, California


Del Mar County Fair, San Diego, California


I saw this in the post - my hand with a lot wounds because my skin reacts/has allergic reaction to the latex in the gloves that we use when cooking/preparing food in Las Vegas. Four years later, I've almost forgotten about these and my hands don't even have scars to remind me of those days. Sana ito rin. Four years in the future, I'll look back on this day and I won't remember the confusion that this phase brought to my life - sana point of breakthrough ang maalala ko. Mas maaalala ko 'yung saya, 'yung gratitude, 'yung strength at 'yung growth na nakuha ko rito... kung meron man. 


Maokong Gondola, Taiwan

There's a matcha ice cream waiting at the end of this cable car ride. To be honest, I was looking forward to that more than the cable car ride but since this was my first time riding a crystal glass-floored cabin, syempre tuwang tuwa rin ako. Ang saya. 


The nice thing about their cable car is that you won't have to pay extra if you want to experience the crystal cabin. The line is a bit longer for the crystal but at least, same price.

Guia Lighthouse Cable Car, Macau

This was the one that we were supposed to look for in order to get to Guia Hill. The shortest of the cable cars I've ridden but well-appreciated since we would've taken the long route again if we weren't able to locate this Cable Car station. HAHA!


Wynn Palace, Cotai Strip, Macau

Sweetest surprise of Wynn Palace Macau. Rode this for five times just because it's free! HAHAHA! Again, I don't see this frequently in photos when people tour around Macau. I don't know if it's because cable cars aren't really interesting (ako lang ba tuwang-tuwa?) or because the location of Wynn is at the back of Cotai Strip that going there via bus is the more convenient way. 


Busan Air Cruise
Songdo Skypark, Busan, South Korea

BOOK YOUR TICKETS HERE


LOOOOOOVE! MY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! 

What makes this different from the rest is that this is over the ocean. Madalas kasi through mountains 'yung cable cars. You can spend the entire day in Songdo beach since there are a lot of things to do in this area of Busan. I was having breakfast in our apartment's kitchen and then a friend came and asked me where was I spending my free time that day. I told her my "schedule" doesn't start until 6 in the evening so I basically have the entire day and was thinking of going far. One hour travel via public transport without traffic congestion is already far. You can do a lot of things in a day at masusunod pa rin schedule mo since hindi kakainin ng traffic 'yung oras. Anyway, ayon na nga, dito kami nagpunta. We rode a crystal cabin. Gosh. Wala kong masabi. Mahal kita, Busan. I will always look forward to visiting you again. 


Must-visit Places in Busan, South Korea


Nagasaki Ropeway, Japan
10 Million Dollar Night View at Mt. Inasa, Nagasaki

This place is considered one of the three World's Best Night Views pero syempre... pinuntahan namin ng umaga. HAHAHA! Experience is in the link kasi wala naman na ako masyadong masabi. This is just a short ride to get to the viewing area at Mt. Inasa. 


Ngong Ping 360
 Lantau Island, Hong Kong

BOOK YOUR TICKETS HERE. 

This, for me, has the nicest view so far 'cause it has everything that I want to see when travelling. You have your city with the high-rise buildings, your body of water, your mountains and your forest. You can also opt for a crystal cabin if you want to.

No wonder this cable car ride and the one I've mentioned earlier in Palm Springs, California are included in the World's Top 10 Cable Car experience. 


Vivaldi Snowyland
Yangpyong, South Korea

My first and only out-of-the-country trip this 2020. This cable car ride was from the ski slope to the ice park in the mountains and vice versa. 

💗💗💗

My could haves, should haves, and would haves. Dami, noh? I saw this in a different perspective now that I am constructing my post. Kasi it was never ending eh, it is never ending. I keep reaching for something. I keep wanting more. Not remembering that this was one of the things I wanted and hoped for some six years ago. And kung hindi ko pa 'to ma-appreciate lalo dahil lang ang dami kong gusto na biglang nawala at bumalik sa mga "someday" kong di ko na naman alam kung paano. What would that make me?

Ganon naman, noh? We're a work in progress, haven't figured everything out, nagre-realign ng mga wants and priorities (though it took me a pandemic to finally do this at nadadapa pa rin ako minsan! HAHA!) We grow and we change. Not striving for a dream you once had doesn't make you a lesser a person. It's just that you've outgrown whatever that was because of current circumstances. Most important thing talaga, we're trying. 

Gusto kong i-upload at i-kwento lahat lahat pero as you can see, nagiging sentimental ate mo ghorl kaya isa-isa lang. Okay. Enough enough. Cable car compilation 'to. Hindi kaartehan. HAHA!


Changi International Airport
Singapore

Infairness sa gusto ni Tintin 2014, nakarami naman na siya na cable car ride until 2020. At ito na nga ang final before the pause. 'Yung cable car ride on a winter day. Kinikilig ako actually at nakaka-amaze at the same time na ito na 'yon oh. 'Yung "sana" ko six years ago, tapos na pala. hehehe! Sana. Sana. Sana. Para sa ibang mga bulong at mga bagong hiling ng puso ko. Sana. Sana. Sana. 

May mga bagay na hindi pa natin alam kung paano pero nangyari at nagawa natin. ❤️ Just like all our concerns, frustrations, wishes, dreams now... hindi pa man natin alam kung paano exactly pero magagawan at magagawan ng paraan. 🥰
Everything, in time. 💖

    One morning, we decided to head to Songdo area for the cable car.

    My friend wasn't into hiking/trekking but wanted to experience riding a cable car so I had to crossout Amnam Park Coastal Walk and reserve it for next time. :))


    South Korea Travel Sim? Purchase yours here.



    What we did was rode the bus all the way to the park and ride the one-way cable car from the hill to the beach. 


    For the rates,

    Regular Cabin is 15,000 KRW for round trip, 11,000 KRW for one-way
    Crystal Cabin is 20,000 KRW for round trip, 15,000 KRW for one-way. 


    BOOK YOUR TICKETS HERE



    What I'm gonna do next time:

    Ride the cable car from Songdo beach to the hill and then trek down through the trail. <3 


    Of course, we took the crystal cabin. <3 hahaha! Daming budget? 😂


    I've also seen this place featured in Two Days, One Night so my heart is happy. <3



    I'm saving you for my next Busan Trip, Songdo Coastal Walk!

    Igidae Coastal Walk link: here. 


    Always excited with cable car rides no matter how many times I've ridden. :)) 


    This is my second crystal cabin experience.. my first was the one in Taipei


    Maokong Cable Car, Taiwan link: here.


    The are different though since Maokong is a ride through the mountains while Songdo is over the ocean. 



    The ride was not long, probably around 10 minutes per way but that is enough time to have your photos taken already.


    Songdo is one of the busy beaches in Busan because there are a lot of attractions in the area such as the Skywalk in the picture above. Also, I heard that it is the oldest beach in Busan. 


    BOOK YOUR ADVENTURE HERE:

    East & West Busan Exploration with Busan Skywalks, Gamcheon Culture Village, and Haedong Yonggungsa Temple Day Tour






    After the cable car ride, you there's a skywalk and a park in the area. You can also walk along the beach which gets packed and crowded during summer or you may try the cafes and restaurants there too.

    I was only reminded that I haven't posted about our complete Taiwan trip when the announcement that Taiwan has decided to extend the visa-free entry of Filipino passport holders.


    Summary of our Taiwan trip last December link: here.


    [Klook Link] Maokong Gondola Combo Ticket in Taipei


    In order to get to the station, you need to ride the Brown Line of their MRT to Taipei Zoo. What we did was we first explored the Taipei Zoo before riding the cable car to Maokong. Allot enough time for this place because Taipei Zoo is huge plus Maokong Peak and Zhinan Temple are places of interests as well.

    You can use the your Metro Card to pay for the zoo and for the cable car ride.


    We were able to ride the crystal cabin on our way to the top. Lucky us there weren't lines when we got there.
    The rate is $120ntd/adult per way, the charge is the same for the regular and glass bottom cabins. The line of tourist is just the problem because the latter definitely has longer line on most days.




    I've ridden a cable car in Genting Highlands in Malaysia, San Jacinto State Park in California, Wynn Hotel and Guia Hill in Macau but Taiwan's Maokong Gondola is my favorite so far. 



    First reason is because of the crystal cabin that we rode since the greenery/forest below can easily be seen and it's way more exciting because of the glass floor. 

    It's not expensive and you can see the cityscape of Taipei and the lush forest while riding.


    From Taipei Zoo, there's a stop in Zhinan Temple - a temple complex you can explore should you have enough time. We weren't able to go down this stop 'cause we felt that we were running out of time.

    This is the Maokong Station where you'll ride the cable car down. I'll create a separate post about Maokong too. 


    After spending around three hours in Maokong, we decided to ride the cable car down already to beat the crowd. The time of operations is: 8:30AM to 9PM


    It was continuously drizzling that day hence, the view.


    This is really a must-visit when in Taiwan because it's not all the time that you can ride a cable car. <3
    If you're riding the cable car a bit late, I believe there's a light and fountain show near the Taipei Zoo MRT station every Friday - Sunday nights.

    My favorite part of our Hong Kong Trip last year is Ngong Ping mainly because of the cable car ride. 


    I didn't even read about what's in Ngong Ping Village beforehand 'cause the only thing I wanna do there is ride the cable car. HAHAHA!

    Cable car, by the way, is my favorite mode of transportation. I like trains, buses, and airplanes too but since cable car rides don't last that long - mas special siya in a way.

    Purchase tickets in advance:
    [Klook Link] Hong Kong Ngong Ping Cable Car Ride

     
    You have two options when it comes to the kind of gondola available to you. Unlike the one in Taiwan though where the cost is the same for both types, you pay a higher price if you want to ride the crystal cabin here in Hong Kong. We were able to cut lines since we have purchased the tickets before going there via Klook.

    Maokong Gondola, Taipei, Taiwan link: here.


    Central Hong Kong was crowded and full of high-rise buildings so going in Lantau Island was definitely a breather. Wide open spaces overlooking a body of water and the lush forest.


    Tian Tan Buddha/ Big Buddha
    Left hand: Fulfilling Wishes
    Right hand: Imparting Fearlessness

    The most iconic part of Ngong Ping. I was looking forward to climbing that all the way to the top but when got at the bottom - it was a bit crowded and no one wanted to go up with me so we just explored more of the place.


    Kailan kaya babalik 'yung mga gala? 
    I mean, hindi naman necessarily na out of the country. Nakakamiss lang 'yung freedom na napupuntahan mo gusto mo, nagagawa mo gusto mo at basta. hahaha! New found appreciation 'yan definitely pag bumalik 'yung freedom after the pandemic, noh? Sana soon. 


    Health and Bliss 🙆🏻‍♀️

    We didn't really do anything in Ngong Ping. Didn't even look around the stores and cafes there. We just walked and took photos. 


    Ang ganda lang maglakad-lakad kahit medyo nakakapraning 'yung mga baka na nakakagala lang. Pero mas malamig dito compared sa central HK. Well, 'yun nga, mas mataas kasi na area.


    This is like the Buddha in Indonesia and Singapore which makes sense since those three countries practice the same kind of Buddhism (I read about this before but I've forgotten the name).

    This is different from those in Cambodia and Thailand. 


    I've ridden two out of ten world's best cable car experience. I searched about this before as well and I used to dream of visiting the one in Vietnam 'cause that leads to the French Town and a tea farm but yea, postponed lang pero pwede pang puntahan. Universe, baka pwede 'yung mga nasa Europe na rin?? HAHAHA! Jusko. Kaya ayoko nagpo-post ng travel backlogs kasi heto na naman po akooooo. HAHAHA! 


    Palm Springs' Aerial Tramway in California is somewhere on the list.
    Link: here.


    See you again, HK?

    Pero ako, Macau, ikaw pa rin ata mas gusto at babalikan ko eh. 😂😂😂


    Cotai Strip, Macau
