do i need to apply for a visa for short stays during transit?

Question

My flight arrives in Shanghai at 7.30am Friday 6 May 2016 (NZ289) and my departure is on OS76 leaving at 10.50am on Monday 9 May 2016. I understand for a short transit stay I may not need to obtain an entry permit prior to arrival. I am a New Zealand passport holder and was born here.I intend to stop over in Hong Kong on my way back from Europe arriving 4.30pm Tuesday 14 June departing 10.45pm Thursday 16 June

Hello Rod! You can enjoy 72-hour free tansit policy when you transit in Shanghai. And you can enter HK freely for a stay less than 90 days because you have a New Zealand passport. Therefore, no entry permit is needed for the above-mentioned short stays.
