Shanghai Maglev - 8 minutes looking out the window of the Maglev
The Maglev or Magnetic Levitation train runs from the suburbs
of Shanghai to
Shanghai Pudong Airport at speeds upto 431 kph. This view
is from an early evening train where speed restrictions apply
- but we did reach a top speed of 300 kph.
It's amazing to travel at such speeds without a driver or
seat belts and, at times, somewhat unnerving - especially
when running alongside the motorway and cars appear to be
going backwards.
