Shanghai Maglev Train
A trip on the Shanghai Maglev Train
is like being in the future of transportation. The Shanghai Maglev line is only 30.5 km (19 mi), but it is enough to demonstrate its potential. The train links the Pudong Airport to Longyang Road Station in downtown Shanghai in just 7 minutes and 20 seconds. The train reaches a top speed of 431 kph (268 mph) and the journey is as comfortable as an airplane in the air. Maglev means magnetic levitation. There are plans to extend the line and connect the two airports of Shanghai (Pudong and Hangzhou). From Longyang Road Station you can get any part of the city using Metro. Hotels in Shanghai
