A Must Do when in Shanghai! Took the Maglev twice...the ride from Pudong Airport to Longyang Road Station was excellent! - simply love it when the Maglev turn sideways like in the roller coaster ride at a speed of 431km/hr! It does kinda feel like a roller coaster ride...haha! more

Not exactly an "attraction" but it sure is a unique and fun way to get from the Pudong Airport to downtown Shanghai. I figure if Joe Sloboda says to check this out then it has to be worth my time, so when we arrived in Shanghai, rather than take a cab and sit in traffic for an hour to get... more

Agree with all that the other reviewers have said - it is an experience unparallelled anywhere else in the world. Unsurprisingly, you really feel the speed, particularly when the train tilts and banks. Try it if you can ! more

The Maglev is just a train that goes from the airport to town really fast. It's in a strange location, still took us about 30 minutes to get from our hotel to the train station by taxi. It goes up to like 430 km/hr but those speeds are only a couple hours a day. At the time we went it... more

I was in Shanghai for business and had to experience this train. I just asked my car driver to take me to the train station instead of the airport. The train goes direct and quicker than a car. There is room for your luggage, tickets are easy to get at the top of the escalators, and you can even pick... more

We used the Maglev twice to get to and from Pudong airport and what a great thing. keep in mind if you are returning to the airport within 7 days you can purchase a return ticket at a discounted price. more

We have just returned from Shanghai and used the Maglev four times as an airport transfer. Fast, quiet and good value. Change across to the metro into Shanghai. About 7 stops into the city centre. more
