I heard that the Maglev Train from airport to the city is very fast. How to take it from airport to my hotel?

The Maglev Train is available between the Pudong International Airport (PVG) and the Longyang Road. It takes around 8 minutes per single journey and the highest speed will reach to 430km/h (267 mi/h). It runs every 15 - 20 minutes, so you will not wait too long to take the train after getting off the flight. Upon arrival at the Longyang Rd station, you may change to Metro line 2, 7, 16 or 18 to your hotel or take a taxi which is more convenient. If you head to the airport, just make the reverse.
