DAVUD AKHUNDZADA's journey begins at Chongqing’s domestic terminal, where he is immediately struck by the thoughtful, high-tech amenities. He points out a baby bed at the security check, futuristic luggage carts with charging ports, and a vast array of luxury brand stores. The airport’s nap hubs, massage chairs, and comfortable seating create a business-class experience for an economy ticket. He enjoys a freshly made meal for just $10, a stark contrast to typical international airport prices. The domestic flight to Shanghai arrives 30 minutes early, and Davud notes the efficiency of both the airport and the airline. Upon landing, he marvels at the organized luggage carousel, where staff line up suitcases for easy pickup. He then buys a VIP ticket for the Shanghai Maglev train, a 300 km/h marvel of magnetic engineering. The journey takes only 7-8 minutes to reach the city center, a fraction of the time a taxi would take. From the Maglev station, he orders a premium Didi taxi for $10, impressed by the clean, electric car with a Tesla-style roof. He arrives at the Grand Hyatt Shanghai, located in the Shanghai Tower complex. The check-in is on the 54th floor, and his room is on the 79th floor. The room offers breathtaking views of the city, including the Shanghai Tower, the bottle-opener-shaped World Financial Center, and the Oriental Pearl Tower. He pays $250 for the night, finding the price justified for the experience and space. The hotel gym, on the 57th floor, provides a stunning backdrop for a workout. After settling in, Davud explores the neighborhood, crossing the Lujiazui pedestrian bridge to take in the futuristic skyline. He notes the quietness of the city, attributing it to the widespread adoption of electric cars. He reflects on his three Chinese cities so far—Beijing, historical; Chongqing, adventurous; and Shanghai, futuristic and modern. He emphasizes the walkability, thoughtful design, and friendly people in China, ending his first impressions with a sense of overwhelming excitement for the adventures ahead.
Davud Akhundzada's Shanghai arrival is a futuristic shock: from a baby bed at Chongqing security to a 300 km/h Maglev ride, it's clear China does domestic travel differently. His 79th-floor hotel room at the Grand Hyatt offers unreal skyline views, making the 250 USD price tag feel justified for the experience alone.
Davud arrives in Shanghai via a futuristic Maglev train, checks into a 79th-floor hotel, and explores the city's stunning skyline.
