The Maglev train to and from the airport is one of the most satisfying thrills in Shanghai.
At maximum speeds of 430+ km/hour, the train takes you from downtown Shanghai to the airport in 10 minutes.

Very expensive to construct, though it works well. I wonder if this is a techno dead end, workable but not particularly practical. Of course, I'm a steel-wheel-on-steel-rail traditionalist, so my comments have about as much power as, for example, an electro-magnet when the power is cut...

China is so cool! This is just the beginning it seems, can't wait for the new high speed line between Shanghai and Beijing to be completed!!
