There’s more than just one. The Shanghai one is the fastest, though.

  There's a faster one in Japan, although it's not open to the public yet: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-32391020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-32391020

    Japanese trains are crazy. I rode the Shinkansen for a few hours. I actually wondered at the time if it was maglev because the ride was so smooth, quiet, and fast.

      It is really incredible, so smooth and quiet - and so fast! What surprised me the most was how the track was banked in the curves like a race track.
