Fastest EVER PVG-Jing An
I normally take the Maglev, but with good old China Eastern living up to its reputation for ALWAYS being delayed I arrived too late for the last Maglev. Yes it was late at night so no traffic, but I did set a new record.

2136 Touchdown
2149 Exit Plane
2155 Clear customs
2158 Get into cab
2229 Arrive at Jing-An Temple

So there you have it 31 minutes from PVG to Jing An. Again, late at night no traffic, AND the driver was about the craziest one I've ever had. He averaged about 120kph on the highways and hit max around 138 kph. This was one of the few times I was actually looking for a seatbelt in a cab in Shanghai.
