We travel high and fast

The view from Cloud9 bar in Jin Mao Tower (400 m)



MagLev


In Shanghai we visited the Cloud9 bar, which is locatad on the 87th floor in the Grand Hyatt building (Jing Mao Tower), approximately 400 metres up in the sky. Albeit a cloudy night, the view was quite breathtaking (sorry about the dark photo).

To Pudong International Airport we travelled with the MagLev (magnetically levitating) train at 431 km/h. The ride was painfully short - about 7 minutes - but we enjoyed every second of it!
