China 72 hour transit visa
Hi all,I'm trying to get my head around China's new 72 hour visa rules.
If I fly into Beijing : get the 72 hour stamp, do I then have to leave the country from Beijing airport, or can I fly out via another Chinese airport ( as long as I'm out of the country within the 72 hours ) ?
Beijing to Hong Kong is about 70 pounds cheaper with a stop over in Shanghai.
And how far out of Beijing can you get?
Thanks for any help,

For a transit you can only stop in that city. If your flight makes another transit stop in China then you fall under the 24-hour exemption. Not only your next stop has to be another country, it has to be a third country. So you could not do HK-Beijing-HK."How far out of Beijing can you get?" - you cannot leave Beijing.

Although Beijng is not a province, the municipality is quite large and there's plenty to do within its boundaries.Keep you stopover simple and you'll enjoy it more than trying to work the system.
