Shanghai Maglev Train

Riding the Maglev was one of the highlights of my trip. The whole experience felt futuristic — from the clean station to the moment the train reached incredible speed in just a few seconds. Despite how fast it goes, the ride is very smooth and stable, with no uncomfortable shaking. The seats were comfortable, the view was great, and the travel time was impressively short.It’s a must-try for anyone visiting Shanghai, especially if you love technology or want a unique travel experience.

For the first time in my life, I took a maglev train and experienced the speed of China. The Shanghai Maglev Train starts from Longyang Road Station of Metro Line 2 in the west and ends at Pudong International Airport in the east. The line is 30 kilometers long and the single-line running time is only 7 minutes and 20 seconds. It is the world's first high-speed maglev train put into commercial operation and the only high-speed maglev commercial operation line in the world. It integrates high speed, safety, comfort, energy saving and environmental protection. It is the most advanced and fastest land commercial transportation in the world today. If buildings such as "Shanghai Tower", "Shanghai World Financial Center", "Shanghai Jinmao Tower" and "Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower" represent the "height of Shanghai", then high-speed maglev trains represent the "speed of new Shanghai" and "spirit of new Shanghai". As a Chinese citizen, I feel proud and proud. I love my motherland!

As a Shanghainese, I have never ridden a maglev train. This time when I came back from a business trip to Pudong Airport, I took a maglev train on a whim. After arriving at the airport, I followed the signs and found the platform quickly. I could buy a ticket for 40 yuan with my boarding pass. The train was a bit like the Japanese Shinkansen, with spacious seats and a very stable speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour. I arrived at Longyang Road very quickly.

An amazing feat of technology. Although bthe service at the stations wasn't up to standard, the expedited speed made up for the imperfections. I will continue to use the train in the future.性价比高，

The last time I took the maglev was in July 2016, when I came back from the Northwest with my girlfriends. When I arrived at Pudong Airport, I thought that since I had never taken the maglev before, I could take it at half the price with my ticket of the day. Today, I got off the Longyang Road subway station on Line 7 and took the maglev again! Isn’t it to save time... The queue for tickets was super long, but you can enter by swiping your transportation card, which is also 40 yuan. After security check, you can take the maglev and arrive at Pudong International Airport in 8 minutes. It’s super convenient!

Taking children on a ride and experiencing the operation of the maglev train is a vivid way to learn physics knowledge. The train runs smoothly overall, with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. It takes less than 9 minutes to reach Pudong International Airport from Longyang Road.
