italian passport with 3 months validity, 24h in shangai

Question

I'm traveling from London to Osaka via Shanghai. I have a 15h wait between the flights and I would like to exit the airport to visit the city a bit. The problem is my passport has less than 6 months validity? Can i leave the airport even if for normal China visas you need 6 months validity? Do I need the 72h or the 24h?

If your passport has more than 3 months' remaining validity at the time of entry then you'll be fine. Otherwise you will be denied boarding even if it's a day shorter (and refusal of entry to Mainland China).
