TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Service hours for the Taipei Children’s Amusement Park and Maokong Gondola will be extended during the weekend of the Moon Festival.

The park in Shilin District will open until 9 p.m. on Friday (Sept. 29) and Saturday (Sept. 30). A limited-edition ticket for unlimited access to the park's 13 rides will be available from 4 p.m. over the weekend at NT$120 (US$3.72), down from the original price of NT$200, said the Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation (TRTC).

Between Sept. 29 and Oct. 1, those who purchase three one-day Fun Vouchers at the park will receive a one-day pass worth NT$260 for the Maokong Gondola. In celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival, an outdoor fair will feature a giant installation of the mascot of the jaded rabbit and 20 stalls between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. during the holiday.

Meanwhile, the service for Maokong Gondola in Wenshan District will also be extended to 11 p.m. between Sept. 29 and Oct. 1, said the TRTC.

On Sept. 29, the Zhinan Temple in the Maokong area will hold an evening party dedicated to the “Eight Immortals,” the characters in Chinese mythology.
