If you want to visit Shanghai for less than 24 hours you don't need a visa. You can take a fast train (it is really fast, 431 km/h woohooo!) from the airport to the city, and come back on time for your flight. After visiting Shanghai I appreciate it a lot that everybody speaks English in Singapore. I spent two hours in the airport to only exchange money and find out where I can visit in the city, and I finally ended up in a shopping mall!!! Believe me, that's the last thing you might want to do after living in Singapore for a while. In the city I found a tourist and he told me about Oriental Pearl Tower which was much better than hanging around a shopping mall. On my way back, all the ticket vending machines in the subway station only accepted coins and the passenger service was shut!
You can see me in this photo contemplating at the height of 350 m (it really makes a difference ;) ):
