Shanghai's Maglev is an amazingly smooth ride especially when you consider that you accelerate up to 431 km per hour. It is the first of its kind in commercial operation and has been running since January 2004.
The magnetic suspension train runs from Longyang stop of the No. 2 subway in the
west of Pu Dong to the International Airport in the east which is approximately a 30 km trek. This is definitely the way to go!
Tickets are priced at 50 Yuan for a one way and 80 for a round trip, with VIP passes coming in at 80 or 160 Yuan respectively. There were discounts in 2006 when we took it for a spin so long as you could produce a ticket for a flight leaving Pu Dong International on the day of your travel. We were impressed with how smooth, quiet and comfortable the train was, not to mention how convenient, inexpensive and fast it is for getting out to the airport.
Mega A+ on this one China!
