The beloved Hello Kitty is graduating from the Maokong Gondola! Since late 2013, Hello Kitty has served as the mascot of the Maokong Gondola and received an overwhelming response, attracting over 4 million visitors to pay homage. Though it’s hard to say farewell, the time has come—May 3, 2015, is Hello Kitty’s “final duty day.” Visitors who want to personally bid farewell to the gondola version of Hello Kitty should hurry and plan their trip.

During Hello Kitty’s代言 period, not only could you see her adorable “kawaii” look in stations and gondolas, but even the gendered restroom signs were replaced by Kitty figures. Additionally, the exclusively designed “Maokong Gondola Hello Kitty merchandise” became highly sought-after souvenirs among fans. To let everyone take home a unique Maokong Gondola Hello Kitty memento, the gondola has launched a series of special merchandise promotions as a token of gratitude. Fans can visit the Maokong Gondola Zoo Station first-floor ticket office, the merchandise stand, or the Taipei Metro Goods Store to check them out.

Additionally, after Hello Kitty graduates, the Maokong Gondola will undergo its annual maintenance from Monday, May 4 to Tuesday, May 19. The system will be temporarily suspended for 16 days and will reopen with a fresh new look. As the maintenance period coincides with Mother’s Day, the gondola service has coordinated with bus operators to add extra shuttle services on the weekend of May 9 and 10 to help transport passengers up and down the mountain.
