Above the winding road is a white structure, which is the bottom of the Cableway system. Taking the cable car to the top is one of the "mandatory" tourist events for most visitors. However, make sure it is a clear day, such as this one. Many days the top of the mountain is enshrouded in a cloud, and the view then is akin to that of the inside of a sack of flour. The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is one of Cape Town's most popular tourist attractions with approximately 800,000 people a year using the cableway. The lower cable station is at an elevation of 302 metres (991 ft) on Tafelberg Road near Kloof Nek. The upper cable station on the westernmost end of the Table Mountain plateau is at an elevation of 1,067 metres (3,501 ft). The upper cable station offers views over Cape Town, Table Bay and Robben Island to the north, and the Atlantic seaboard to the west and south.
