In August, I will be flying SYD-PEK-LHR on Air China, with approximately 7-8 hour wait at PEK for my connecting flight. In my party will be citizens of Australia and UK.
We would like to leave the airport for a few hours to see the city. I am not sure whether we need to obtain transit visas in this situation. The guidance on the Chinese Consulate UK website is not clear on this matter.
