The most important detail is that your itinerary is eligible for 24 hour visa free transit in Shanghai, of course in case that you have mentioned all your stops. I understand that you know this detail and you are looking to be allowed to exit the airport and to explore the city for a while. You can rely on two options and you will decide which one will you choose:

- You can apply for 24 hour free entry permit upon your landing in Beijing. This option is totally free and you will have to elaborate in short your reason to be allowed to exit the airport. Anyway, you should be aware that the issuing of entry permit is not a passenger's right, but it depends entirely upon immigration authorities discretion. The rate of success in obtaining an entry permit is the highest with the passengers having their layovers during the night hours and those who have booked some kind of a city tour. Everything mentioned requires a proof in a confirmation brought and presented in hard copy.

- You can apply in advance for a Chinese transit (G) visa in advance at CVASC in Denmark. With the mentioned visa, you will be definitely allowed to exit the airport.

Now, when you know your options and circumstances, it's up to you to decide.
