430km/h and levitating

Picture: An old Chinese couple in front of the super-fast German Maglev train. 

From the outskirts of Shanghai to Pudong airport runs the world's fastest train, the German Maglev (for magnetic levitation). It has no wheels and does not touch the ground and its top speed is a whopping 430km/h, faster than any other ground mode of transport! The ride only takes 8min and it is pure joy to see the scenery whizz by. The train uses a very advanced magnetic levitation technique that allows it to go very fast. It is a big tourist attraction also for Chinese travelers.
