I took the magnet train (MagLev) from Shanghai city to the airport in Pudong. It travelled at a speed of 430 kph. Wow!
The train journey took 7 mins. It is 4 times of the speed of ordinary train. It is really, really fast.
There will soon be a train from Guangzhou to Shanghai. It will take less than 1 hour. Previously, it took more than 4 hours.
Wow! China is really developing in an impressive way.
I am even more impressed that the MagLev was produced by the chinese government.
ReplyDeleteGermany and Japan also have their own MagLev System, and don't forget France's TGV.
The cost of the German MagLev technology is approximately $60 million a kilometer; whereas China MagLev cost much lesser though.
The Shanghai train was built by the Japanese.
