i'm traveling from the us, with passport,stopping in shanghai for 3 days

Question

and then traveling to Okinawa for 4 days. I will then be flying home from Okinawa to PVG, and then using a different airline ticket (3 hour layover) from PVG to Boston (US). What do I need to get in order to stay in the country for the 1st 3 days, and then stop over on my return flight? Will i apply for a 72hr visa free visit, and I wont need anything for the 2nd stop since i'm not leaving the airport? Or will i need something special for the return trip home?thank you

David, you can enjoy the 72 hour free transit in Shanghai for your first 3-day visit there. When you re-enter Shanghai and stay for 3 hours to catch the connecting flight, you can enjoy the 24 hour direct transit. In this case, no entry permit will be needed at all.
