Your Experience

Experience Ever Wondered

Ever wondered what it feels like to levitate at 430 km/h? The Shanghai Maglev Train isn't just a transfer; it's a high-speed adventure that showcases cutting-edge German Transrapid technology in action! As you board at either Pudong Airport or Longyang Road Station, you'll settle into spacious seats designed for comfort, even at breakneck speeds. The 30-kilometer journey takes a mere 8 minutes, but every second is unforgettable. Watch through specially designed "deceleration glass" windows as the scenery transforms from airport terminals to countryside, then gradually into Shanghai's impressive urban landscape.

Once you arrive at Longyang Road Station, you're at a major transportation hub connecting Metro Lines 2, 7, 16, and 18. From here, you can easily reach Shanghai's top attractions like The Bund, Nanjing Road, People's Square, Yu Garden, and the French Concession.

Q & A

Is this just a transportation ticket, or is it also a tourist attraction worth doing for fun?

It's both, honestly. Yes, it's a practical airport transfer — 30 kilometers in 8 minutes, which is significantly faster than a taxi (40–60 minutes) or the metro (about 1 hour). But it's also an experience in itself. The Shanghai Maglev is the world's first commercial high-speed maglev train, reaching speeds of up to 430 km/h using magnetic levitation technology. There's a speed display inside the cabin so you can watch the numbers climb, and the windows use special "deceleration glass" to reduce visual strain at high speed. Many visitors ride it purely for the thrill, even if they don't have a flight to catch. At just over 7 USD, it's arguably the cheapest high-speed experience you can have anywhere in the world.

Can I buy a return ticket? Or do I need to buy two one-way tickets?

This product is a one-way ticket. If you need to travel both directions (from the airport to the city on arrival, and back to the airport for departure), you can purchase two one-way tickets — one for each direction. The Maglev also offers a same-day return ticket at the station if you buy direct from the counter (usually around 80 RMB), which works out slightly cheaper than two individual one-way tickets. But the advantage of buying through this platform is that you secure your ticket in advance, which can save time at the station, especially during peak travel periods.

I'm arriving at Pudong Airport with luggage. Is the Maglev luggage-friendly?

Yes, the Maglev is designed with airport travelers in mind. Each carriage has generous overhead storage space, and luggage up to 23 kilograms per piece is allowed without issue. There are no strict hand luggage size restrictions like on some airlines — standard carry-on and checked suitcases fit easily. The carriages are spacious and have dedicated areas for luggage near the doors. At Longyang Road Station, elevators and escalators connect to the metro lines below, so you won't struggle with heavy bags. The only thing to note is that if you have very oversized or oddly shaped luggage (sports equipment, musical instruments), it's a good idea to check with station staff.

How easy is it to find the Maglev at Pudong Airport? I'm worried about getting lost.

Very easy — the Maglev station is directly connected to Pudong Airport Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. From the arrival hall in either terminal, follow the signs for "Maglev Train" (in both Chinese and English). The walk from baggage claim to the Maglev platform takes about 5–10 minutes via covered walkways. There's no need to go outside or take a shuttle. The signs are clear, frequent, and easy to spot. At Longyang Road Station, the exit from the Maglev platform leads directly into the metro station concourse, with signs pointing to Metro Lines 2, 7, 16, and 18. If you can navigate an international airport, you can easily navigate the Maglev connection.
