So I killed about 15 minutes waiting around the airport and changing currency so I could get on the 9am 430km/h departure. I thought the ride was pretty cool. Not sure how much "better" it would have been vs. the 300km/h trip, though I may get to compare if i decide to take the Maglev back to the airport later this week as i think that trip will be early evening when the train might run slower.

Relatively easy to get to Shangri-La by metro.

Surprised how hot and humid and hazy it still is here...
