I found a train ticket office at the MagLev Long Yang Station. That means, you can directly buy train ticket from Shanghai Railway Station to any train destinations. Here are the instructions:
1. Get out of the Maglev Station to the ground floor.
2. Turn north (if you still can tell directions) and enter the building of Metro Line #2 Long Yang Rd. Station.
3. Go straightly ahead till to go through the building and reach the Long Yang Rd.
4. Turn back and you will see an outlet of the train ticket office on the first floor of the building.
I believe this piece of information is very helpful to visitors who want to transit to train after leaving Pudong Airport by Maglev.

A picture is worth more than a thousand words. Could you briefly draw a map? thx.

Thanks to your excellent Maglev info I was able to find the station at Pudong and continue on the #2 train line to Renmin Park.
I would caution your readers about transferring to the metro, though -- especially if they have heavy baggage. My girlfriend and I couldn't find an escalator down to the actual train platform anywhere in Long Yang station. Also, I tried to buy us a couple of Metro cards from the ticket agent, who waved me off with a terrified look on her face!
Fortunately there are automated single-fare ticket machines with English displays in every metro station I passed through. I would actually recommend that visitors get a cab the rest of the way into town from the Long Yang Maglev station. They're very cheap and will get you right to the door of your hotel.
Once again, a big thank-you for this blog, which was an excellent inspiration to visit your fantastic city :-)
