The Shanghai Maglev Train starts from Longyang Road Station of Metro Line 2 in the west and ends at Pudong International Airport in the east. The total length of the line is 30 kilometers. The one-way running time is only 7 minutes and 20 seconds. It is the first high-speed maglev train put into commercial operation in the world. The departure interval is 15 to 40 minutes. The maglev train uses the principle of ‘like repels like, opposite attracts’ to make magnets have the ability to resist gravity, so that the vehicle body is completely separated from the track and hovers about 1 centimeter above the track, traveling in the air, creating a miracle of nearly ‘zero-altitude’ space flight. The designed speed of the Shanghai Maglev Train is 430 kilometers per hour, and the actual speed is about 380 kilometers per hour. The radius at the turning point is up to 8000 meters. Visually, it is almost a straight line. The smallest radius is also 1300 meters. Passengers will not feel uncomfortable. Within 50 meters on both sides of the entire line, there are currently advanced isolation devices in the world. The windows of the maglev train are decelerating glass, so passengers can better enjoy the scenery outside the window. The decelerating glass has arc deformation at the edge in contact with the vehicle body. Because of this arc, the scenery outside the vehicle will be deformed when passing through the arc, thereby affecting the vision of passengers in the vehicle and producing the effect of deceleration. And there are also gradually fading dotted black decorative edges at the edges of the windshield, which also have a certain effect. Opening hours: open all year round from 06:45 to 21:42.
