Shanghai Pudong Airport PVG airport - going to a hotel close by T1 without a Visa ?

Hello / bonjour :)

Arriving Pudong airport T1 at 7am from CDG.
Departing Pudong T1 at 7:45pm to MEL, Australia.
Long stop over ! 12hrs+

Question 1: can I go to a hotel (actually Da Zhong Pudong Airport), located between T1 and T2, 5 minutes walking from airport, without a VISA? As I’m not planning to ask for any Visa as staying less than 24hrs within PVG.
Or do i need a transit Visa ? If so, can this visa be asked when arriving, during/after immigration ?

QUestion 2: after arrival, what best transfer procedure would you recommend ?

Many thanks
Audrey

1. There is 24 hour visa free transit instead of transit visa. So you need to tell me what your flight route is to see whether you are eligible for it.
2. There are clear Engligh signs you can follow.

OK. You are eligible for 24 hour visa free transit. After arrival, you should apply for the Stay Permit at the airport. Please complete the "embarkation/disembarkation card", together with your travel documents, boarding pass for the onward connecting flight and travel itinerary, go to the inspection counter of China Immigration Inspection to apply for 24h stay permit.

Many thanks Gary.
Thus I have nothing to do in advance. Just at the airport!
Merci beaucoup 😉
