transiting through shanghaikunming

Question

I am planning to fly from San Francisco to Shanghai to Kunming to Kolkata using Chinese Eastern Airlines. Planning to stay in Kunming for a day. Can I get the 72 hour transit visa for Kunming, even though I have a layover in Shanghai for 3 hours. BTW I am a US citizen.
