The first manned hig-temperature superconductingmaglev train called "Century" was made in 2000 by the Southwest Traffic University and later developed manned at ambient temperature and conductivity maglev train "future" got a high degree of attention and appreciation by Jinntao Hu, Zemin Jiang and other state leaders. It is said that the Southwest Traffic University had already developed the first manned normal conducting tpye and slow running maglev train in 1994. But it was success to work under the perfect laboratory conditions. In 2003, Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu, Sichuan Qingcheng Mountain maglev train line was completed, the maglev test track is 420 meters long, mainly for tourists, the fare is lower than the rental car fees.The principle of the maglev train was not hard. It just used the nature of the magnet "sex repulsion, opposites attract", let the magnet had the ability to resist gravity, "magnetic levitation". The scientists made the "magnetic levitation" apply to he railage. The train completely out of track and suspension travel, to be a "wheel" train up to several hundred kilometers per hour or more. This was the so-called "magnetic levitation train".

Domestic in low-speed maglev train research indicates that China maglev train has become one of the international advanced level. It also made a series of big break through in suspension control, straight line forward, operational control, signal detection, vehicle structure, and track design and other aspects. China had become one of the few countries to research and development of maglev train and its operating line.
