240 Hour Visa Free question

Hello, I am a US citizen with a US passport. I will fly from Osaka, Japan to Shanghai in January On Air China and will stay in a Shanghai hotel for 4 days. On the fourth day, I will fly from Shanghai to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific airlines. Does this trip qualify for Visa Free? If so, what documents do I need to bring? Is there any information I need to provide in advance of boarding my flight on Air China to Shanghai?
Thanks.

Yes, it's eligible for the 240h visa-free transit. You need your booked flight ticket to HK and better with hotel reservation. It's advised to fill in the online arrival card before boarding to give information about your trip, so that the immigration clering will be fast at Shanghai airport.
