In Shanghai, with a seven-hour stopover, I had time to jump on the Maglev train into town (although actually it only reaches the outside of the central area), which is an amazing experience.

My memory of Narita was that it was also a bewildering array of options - yes the Keisei Skyliner, but also the JR Narita Express, the Keisei Local and various other stopping services. Like the Gatwick Express, the premium Skyliner didn't save a lot of time over the local service, though it was a lot more comfortable with more luggage space.
