transit visa query

Question

Hi, I'm flying to Shanghai this Friday with China Eastern, I contacted the and told them that I wanted to request the 72 hour transit permit and for them to notify immigration the advice on this site suggested, but I was told that they don't do that, they only sell the tickets fort the plane and I must contact the embassy. Can I just apply for it myself when I land in China? Will there be an issue with me boarding my flight without something on their system regarding me contacting them? Will Shanghai airport immigration have an issue with not being notifiedAlso is it easy to register at a police station without speaking any Chinese?

Hi, as I know, you can get this done directly after arrival at the airport, or you can just inform the airline when you check in before boarding the plane. Don't worry, this policy has already been operated for nearly one year so most airlines know clearly about it. BTW, if you will stay in a hotel, the hotel will hangle the registration with the police station on your behalf.
