TRANSIT FLY Review: Shanghai Pudong International Airport without a doubt
has one of the most amazing experiences in airport transit that the World has to
offer. Shanghai International Airport is home to the Shanghai Maglev Train, a
high-speed rail line that can go from Shanghai Airport to the Longyang Road
Station (30km away) in only 7 minutes. At its peak speed of over 430+ km/hour
the Maglev flies through suburban Shanghai on the way to the Pudong area.
From the Longyang Road Station passengers of the Shanghai Maglev can
transfer directly to the Shanghai subway system in the neighboring building or
take a taxi (many always available) across river "the Bund" to Central Shanghai
for around RMB 14-30.
