Actually, this is not a transit in the sense that is defined in Chinese visa free transit rules, but a travel from one country to China, i.e. to Tongren via Shanghai. Having that in mind, you are not eligible for 24 hours visa free transit in the sense that is defined in Chinese visa free transit rules. Anyway, assuming that you are a Singaporean citizen, you have right to enter and stay in China visa free for 15 days, so you will be absolutely free to exit the airport and return back to continue your journey to Tongren. In case that you are a citizen of a country that cannot enter China visa free, then you need a pre-arranged Chinese visa.
