Futuristic Shanghai
Drive from the port area of Shanghai to Pudong Longyanglu Station, your boarding
point for the famous Maglev Train. Maglev, short for ‘magnetic levitation’, whisks you
off to nearby Pudong Airport using groundbreaking technology. Without the friction of
wheels or rails, the innovative train reaches speeds of 267 miles per hour, making it
the fastest transportation on land.
Return to Longyanglu Station at record speed and continue your insight into the future
with a visit to the Jinmao Hyatt Building, an impressive 88-floor skyscraper. Jinmao
Hyatt is one of the tallest buildings in China, a soaring monument to Shanghai’s
economic boom. Completed in 2001, this building’s gently tapered design embodies
China’s history and culture. Take the express elevator to the observation floor at the
top of the building to enjoy a panoramic view of the city. On your return journey you will
have chance to photograph Oriental Pearl TV Tower, standing at 1,536 feet this
makes it the worlds’ third tallest TV tower.
