I want to travel from Shanghai to Hong Kong with this 72 hours free transit permit. But I want to know whether you can fly to Hong Kong under this permit, ie whether it qualifies as the 'third country'. I cannot seem to find this anywhere in the literature. I would be grateful for a response. Sophie
