This would not be eligible for the TWOV due to more than one stop in China. If you are received by a Chinese travel agency in Shanghai on an approved group tour you may be eligible for the 15 day cruise ship visa exemption

You need to apply for a tourist visa from your nearest visa application centre before you travel. You can easily find the locations, forms and fees online.
