i miss my 貓空貓

fm wiki:
Maokong (traditional Chinese: 貓空; pinyin: Māokōng; literally "cat empty") is located in Wenshan District of Taipei. It used to be the biggest tea growing area of Taipei. There are many intertwining footpaths which have been used to transport tea. Now, it's a popular place for tea culture and viewing the night scenery of Taipei city.
The name comes from "jiâu-khang" (皺孔, also similar 皺坑) in Taiwanese, which means "crease aperture" and refers to pothole formations. During Japanese rule it was changed to the similar sounding Maokong (貓空, Taiwanese POJ: niau-khang)


we set off in the early morning and took the MTR (or MRT, watever la) via Muzha Line to Taipei Zoo stn. and chg to a bus.. can u see the road is very narrow...
