Shanghai (3) - A Perfect Wrap-up for Future Trip

We wrapped up our China trip on the 30/05. We took the Shanghai Maglev Train to Shanghai Pudong Airport for a flight back to KLIA. At full speed, the train journey takes about 8 minutes to complete the distance of 30 km. The train can reach 350 km/h (220 mph) in 2 minutes, with the maximum normal operation speed of 431 km/h (268 mph) reached thereafter. This is the fastest train I had ever ridden. An awesome experience on the world fastest train.

The entire China trip took us 19 days, encompassing 6 cities from north to south, was just so amazing and undoubtedly a self-fulfilling experience. On the flight back to KLIA, the questions on my mind were when would be the next China trip and what would then be the next destinations.
