We recently rode the Shanghai Maglev Train, and it was an incredible experience! The train connects Longyang Road station with Pudong Airport, covering the 30 km distance in just 8 minutes at a top speed of 431 km/h (268 mph). The ride is super smooth, and it feels even faster than it is. The train is modern and comfortable, with large windows offering great views of the city. Boarding was easy, and booking tickets through Trip.com was hassle-free. #travel #thingstodo #shanghai #china #shanghai #china #travel #maglev #train

#ShanghaiTravel Experience the Shanghai Maglev Train, a round trip from Pudong Airport!! It only takes 8 minutes!!! We took the Maglev Train from Longyang Road to Pudong Airport. First, we had to take the train from the city to Longyang Road Station. Look for the signs for the Maglev train station. Follow the signs and you won't get lost. Then buy a Maglev train ticket. If you show your boarding pass to the ticket seller, you will get a discount of 40 yuan. However, if you buy from the vending machine, you will get the full price. Before entering the station, you have to scan all your bags. You also have to wait before the departure time because the train doors will close 1 minute before departure. There are luggage racks on the train. When we went, there were a lot of empty seats so we could choose to sit comfortably. The train runs at a speed of 300 km per hour. It feels like riding a train in a theme park. But it runs very smoothly, like floating. It's very exciting. If I have a chance to go to Shanghai again, I will choose to fly to Pudong Airport because I want to ride the Maglev train again. If you go to Shanghai, I recommend trying the Maglev Train. Don't miss it.

The first photo was taken when I was waiting to get on the bus just as it arrived. The second photo was taken when I had already boarded the train and saw people waiting for the next train on the platform. The third photo shows two cars meeting each other while moving. The cars disappeared in just two seconds. It's really super fast. I did shoot a video, but it was too long to be edited in, but it was really only two seconds long. 🕰️Business hours: #上海磁浮火车行上海 🏖️Atmosphere/facilities: Maglev train 📍Address: Maglev train station 💰Average consumption: 50

#china #maglev #futuristic Have you checked out the Maglev line from/to Shanghai Pudong international airport? it is one of the fastest, coolest and exciting experiences. the train station in the airport is located between terminal 1&2 on the landside area. it's convenient to get to the station since there are moving walkways provided on the way to/from both terminals. It was my first time transiting in Shanghai. I got around 5 hours and didn't want to only stay at the airport. why don't we do something fun?? Then, I was starting browsing and came across this Maglev said to be "one of the fastest commercial trains in the world" I found that Trip.com is one of the most trustworthy agencies and most importantly the booking is confirmed immediately. I got an confirmation of the booking within a few minutes after making a payment 💕😘. At the station, it was super time-saving and easy. all I needed to do was click a few things at a ticket kiosk and input some info. it took me less than 2 minutes. Now let's go on board!!! the boarding process was very smooth. the train looked futuristic, clean and spacious. it's great that they have the speed indicator to tell you how fast you are going 🚆. the train then started speeding from 0-301 km/h. it was super exciting and fun boarding one of the fastest commercial trains in the world. the view on the window kept on and on blurry as if I were in a sci-fi movie. and it's also super fast bringing you to the terminal station called "Longyang Road" where you can connect to the subway train to the Bund and more.

📍—— Pudong Airport,Longyang Road. • 🚇—— Line 2, Line 7, Line 16 & 18. • 💰—— 50 元 one way, 70 元 round trip. • 🚶🏻—— Very convenient if you coming from Pudong airport or going there. Plus you can just go to take the train. • 📖—— Maglev train built in and gave to use in 2004. Distance about 30km. The time which Maglev train spends to finish this distance is 8 minutes (by officials). Shanghai Maglev Train or SMT can reach 410km which makes it fastest commercial train in the world. However, it is not reaching this speed always. Usually they not passing 300km an hour. Right now train feels a bit old. But feeling of taking this train amazing. Because, only 3 counties have maglev trains and SMT is fastest one. #newyearadventure #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #tripaway #shanghai #shanghaimaglev
