If you travel like country A-Shanghai (20 hours)-country B, you will be able to use the 24 hour direct transit in Shanghai. No need to apply for a visa then. You just need to apply for a free temporary stay permit at the immigration office inside Shanghai airport and then you can go to the city for a visit.
