Do we need tourist L in advance?Furthermore, the ship will dock in Shanghai few days later after visited Japan, Korea for 10 hour. Do we need another transit or tourist visa?Could the airline (UA) refuse us board the plane to Beijing if we do not have visa in advance?Matthew & Mimi KongMatthew Kong

72-hour visa free is for direct transit via Beijing Capital Airport only. If you will depart from Tianjin, you need to apply for a tourist visa in advance. And if your cruise will dock in Shanghai days later, you need a double entry tourist visa L.
