Matthieu, you will be eligible for the 144 hour free transit in Shanghai if you travel like that. You don’t need a visa then. Nice trip! When you board the flight in Macau, you need to inform the airlines that you will use the 144 hour free transit in Shanghai. Usually, the airline staff knows about that.
