L (tourist) type's need to be applied for in advance. What you are looking for the the Transit With Out Visa (TWOV) which is applied for at immigration after landing. You are eligible for this as long as you are traveling Country A  > Shanghai > Country B. Any other stops in China (even if not switching planes) would invalidate
