I checked all possible flights from HKG/CAN/SZX-PEK-PVG they cost about $500/person

I am leaning to use miles :
China Southern = HKG-PEK(stop)-PVG round trip for 30K/35K skypesos
China Eastern = HKG-PVG(STOP)-PEK round trip for 30K/35K skypesos
I cant use AA miles on CX/KA to do both PEK and PVG for less than 30k, they charge 15k one way and they dont have PEK-PVG

any better ideas?

These two seem to be your best options.
SZN or CAN as your departure point is not a good lowcost option with your two children in tow.
OR
CX/KA HKG-PEK and then maybe overnight train from BJ to SH then PVG-HKG. CX/KA is a better airline.
