Shanghai Maglev

The Maglev train in Shanghai, connects the City ( though not the centre) to the Airport iss an engineering marvel.



























It ocvers a distance of about 50 km in roughly 7 minutes ! Built by the Germans, it has not been very popular due to the cost and the lead into the city.


I travelled in it in 2004 . The Chinese Govt is trying to extend this route now, to increase the acceptance.
