Maglev Shanghai Train

You can ride the Maglev train in Shanghai, China. I can't say anything, because this is awesome. If you find the comfortable transportation and the fastest transportation like on the plane. But this time you can find the same feeling by this train. This is absolutely a futuristic high-speed train (with a magnetic float). And I heard that this Maglev Shanghai Train was the world's first commercial. This train can move at speeds up to 431 kilometers per hour. Look at the pictures!

Machu Picchu Train Route

Machu Picchu is an interesting place above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Cusco. I think we all know about this place. If you are good traveler you have to try the journey from Cusco to Machu Picchu. This trip runsthrough the sacred valley, with the Andean foothills, and along theUrubamba River before the final destination at the ruins of the Inca. You can feel new experience along the journey of Machu Picchu.

Darjeeling Train

What do you think about Himalayan? We can saw beautiful mountain area over there, we can see the trees among the mountains. When we talk about Himalayan, there's a train.
