    1. The Maglev trip takes 7 minutes and 20 seconds to finish the distance of 30 km
    2. Shanghai is roughly divided into two parts – Puxi (west of Huangpu River) and Pudong (east of Huangpu River). since both your hotel and Pudong airport in the Pudong area, so it won’t take long to take a taxi from Longyang Station to your hotel (about half hour)
    3. Shanghai Cycle Show will be held at Shanghai New International Exhibition Center, not far from your hotel. Check its official website: http://www.sniec.net/
