Shanghai Maglev - high speed journey to Shanghai Airport
Tweet
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.
