Joy ride – Shanghai Maglev Train


The Shanghai Maglev Train runs between the Pudong International Airport and the Longyang Road Station on the outskirts of Shanghai city where you can connect to the metro subway and the bus networks. This is an exhilarating ride on magnetic levitation at speeds between 300 to 430 kmph depending on time of day. Gliding on air, you might be tempted to close your eyes in repose, but you’ll be wasting a chance to catch some high-speed sightseeing out of town.

under and over highways...

past farms and quaint villages…

till you arrive at the Airport, all in six minutes.
