Will be traveling through Shanghai-Pudong airport next month. My stay is 36 hours total. According to the China embassy, stays of less than 48 hours through Pudong airport are Visa-free, provided passenger can show proof of onward travel and is a resident of certain countries, such as the U.S.
...
Anyone have any experience showing up in China without a Visa under the visa-free travel rule? ...

Does this also work if one is going to Shanghai from the US and returning to the US within 48 hours?
