May 4th: NYC -> Hong KongMay 12th: Hong Kong -> Pudong airportMay 15th: Pudong airport -> NYCDo I need a visa to visit this city? I read that there are both 72 hour and 144 hour travel exemptions for Visa's if I am passing through SH on the way to a 3rd destination. Does my trip quality for this exemption? Also, does SH fall under the 72 hour or 144 hour travel exemption? I read recently that SH is now under the 144 hour travel exemption.

Brain, based on what you said, you will be eligible for the 144 hour visa- free transit in Shanghai, so there is no need to apply for a visa.

I am planning a trip to Asia and I will be in Shanghai for 3 days.
