Visa is not required, but your need to apply for a stay permit when you arrive at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.

Hi Ween, as what Ethan said above, visa is not required if you are transit in these two airports without leaving. A stay permit issued at your first stopover in Gunagzhou is enough.

This is simple. You can get this permit with your passport and flight ticket from the Frontier Inspection office in the airport.
