Besides the maglev being a super fast train is there anything all that special about taking it versus just getting in a taxi and getting into Shanghai for a first time visitor?
The Maglev won't save you any time at all.
There are no set rates for taxis.
The #2 bus actually goes directly to your Jing'an Temple, but taxi is faster because you won't have to wait for the bus (leaves once every 20 minutes).
