I put together a short video of the Shanghai Maglev train.
The ride was a little bumpier than I would have thought, and it felt different than a normal track-bound train. Perhaps it was my imagination, but I could almost feel the train bouncing up and down as it whooshed along the magnetic tracks.
The contrast between the super high technology of the train and the misty farmland and crumbling structures (perhaps soon to be rebuilt as new apartment complexes) was striking.
Here is the official Shanghai Maglev promo video (in German):
