Question

Vancouver - Tokyo- Shanghai (then take train for a couple day stay in Beijing and then train back to Shanghai)i - Tokyo (few hour layover - Vancouver. I guess I just needed clarification the 144 hour free transit works as long as you FLY in and out of the same region (yet can travel by train and back) to another region during your stay?

You are definitely not permitted to travel to Beijing if you enter China under transit without visa in Shanghai. You need a tourist visa for this.

Moreover, Japan-China-Japan isn't a transit, so you don't even qualify for transit without visa in the first place.
