Queen of Macau has arrived!



Nope, that is not her train arriving. It was the Maglev that I took to the Pudong airport from Longyang station. This is that fast magnetic levitation train that can go 430KM/hour. From the Longyang station to the airport took only 12 minutes. Beats all the traffic on the road. Just to give you an idea how fast the maglev is, I have place the map below to show. Normally, it takes 50 minutes to an hour from my area to Pudong airport. But with my subway ride to LongYang station and jump on the maglev, 28 minutes; of course, have to make sure I catch the maglev; otherwise, I have to do a 15-minute wait.
