transit visa/temporary permit (less than 24 hour transit time in shanghai)

Question

I am a citizen of India and a Permanent Resident (Green Card) of the US. I travel to India via Shanghai in April. I am unclear about the Transit G requirements. Based on my reading, it appears that I don't need a transit G, rather a Temporary Permit that I can apply for at the Immigration Desk in Shanghai. My situation is similar to Marcelina (email thread above) except that I'm a citizen of India.Any thoughts would be appreciated.Thanks

Hi, you can enjoy the 24 hr direct transit in Shanghai. No transit G type is needed. If you want to leave the airport, you may be required to apply for a free temporary stay permit at the immigration office when you arrive at Shanghai airport. Afterwards, you can leave the airport to explore the city.
