Question

i am flying air china returning to australia from italy via shanghai with a 14hour stopover and wanted to do a day trip into the city. do I need to organise a permit ahead of time? or can it be done at the airport in shanghai?

You are qualified for the 72-hour free transit policy. You just need to tell the airline that you want to enjoy this policy when boarding the flight. It is no need to organize a permit ahead of time. Then upon reaching Shanghai airport, you can apply for a stay permit stamp at the immigration to leave the airport with your valid passport and onward tickets to Australia.
