24-hr layover in shanghai - i'd like to exploreleave the airport

Question

I'm travelling to Manila from Toronto, with a 24hr layover in Shanghai. (Toronto > Shanghai > Manila)I'd like to do some exploring and leave the airport during the layover, so: - Do I only need to fill out the Arrival/Departure card or is there anything else that's needed? - If so, do I need to fill it out twice: when I leave the airport and when I re-enter?- Where do I request a Arrival/Departure card - when I check-in with the airline in Toronto? On the plane? Or when I touch down in Shanghai's airport?Thanks.

When you board the flight in Toronto, you need to tell the airline that you want to use 24 h direct transit in Shanghai. After arrival, you can apply for it at the airport by showing valid passport and tickets, hotel reservations, and the completed Arrival/Departure Card that you write on the flight.
