SHANGHAI, CHINA, DAY TWO!
It was a sunny morning in Shanghai with bright blue skies! (Hurray!) We boarded the tour bus to go to the Shanghai Maglev Train Station, where we rode the magnetic levitation train that had speeds up to 300km/hour. In eight minutes flat we arrived at our destination, the Pudung International Airport. We rode the train back to the station and browsed the Maglev Train Museum. We were given 40 minutes to walk through it (and I didn’t need one second more)! Honestly, it was pretty cool (for a museum, that is)! Next, we bussed it to the Jin Mao Building, one of the tallest buildings in Shanghai. It had an observation deck (on the 88th floor) with beautiful views of the city. (But darn, by the time we got there our blue skies were gone for the day!) From the Observation Deck you could look down 33 stories and see the atrium of the Grand Hyatt Hotel! Perhaps, although it felt like a true end-of-winter day in Shanghai, it was springtime after all! It was lunchtime...
