Since I am in Shanghai for more than 24 hours but less than 72 hours do I need to register with the local police station?

You will need to fill out the yellow card on the plane (or you can get it when you land). You then need to visit the visa free transit desk at the airport and fill out the blue card to request temporary entry permit. You can then stay up to 144 hours.
