Has anyone done this lately? Are you saying that I can go thru customs in Shanghai and just show the Immigration Officer a print out of an e-ticket within 24 hours from PVG-HKG, and then I can leave the airport, go into Shanghai, spend two days, and return within 48 hours, all without a Chinese visa?
Alternatively, I presume I can obviously transit within the airport from AA-CX without a visa and without going thru customs and immigration (although will my bag be checked thru if I am on two separate tickets)?
AA says the minimum connection time is 2 hours? Seems like a long time for intransit within PVG airport.
