It's almost 3 a.m., and I am wide awake in a hotel room - I am in China for the second time! Five years ago my daughter and I came to visit my son and his wife, who were living in Nanjing. We had an exciting time, visiting Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing, Chengdu, and Xian. That time we were visiting for four weeks - this time we have only half as much time. After we arrived at the Shanghai Pudong Airport we followed the signs to the Maglev Station. The Maglev is an amazing magnetic levitation train that travels at speeds in excess of 400 km/hr. We chose to stay at a hotel not far from the Maglev, so that we could rest right after our journey. We stayed at the "Jinjiang Inn Maglev Station" at 260 Baiyang Road. This photo was taken from the Maglev.
