I have two seperately purchased tickets:Calgary - BeijingBeijing - MelbourneI want to use the 72hour free transit for beijing, but my onward ticket has a stopover in shanghai between PEK and MEL for 11 hours. Will that stopover affect the 72 transit? Is it still possible to go out of the airport in shanghai? Or do I have to stay in the airport? Or will I need to apply for a visa?

You need a visa. Two stops limits you to 24 hours in China.
