Well, as you will enter Shanghai from Singapore and then leave for Singapore, you will need a visa for mainland China. In Hong Kong, you can enjoy visa-free policy.

You may or may not, depending on your itinerary. See if you can arrange the route like Hong Kong - a mainland city - Macau, to be eligible for the visa-free transit scheme.
