About:Chinese Embassy in South Africa

One night layover in Shanghai. Do I need a visa if I want to leave the airport?

I am traveling from Chicago to Japan via Shanghai using a SA passport. The layover is about 10 hours and I would like to explore. Do I need to apply for an entry permit?

No, you don't need it, you are eligible for the free transit policy.
