The fast train took nearly 5 hours to cover the 1300km from Beijing to Shanghai. Very exciting! |
It ran mostly on dedicated, elevated railways. |

This is the dining car. The display in the back reads the current speed: 303km/h. |

The biggest excitement was yet to come. This maglev monorail reached a top speed of 432km/h, but for a very short time, given the total length of track of only 30km. It links the Shanghai to Pudong airport. |
