No, this is not allowed because you will fly round trip from Hong Kong to Guangzhou. You need to apply for a Chinese visa in advance for this visit.

Thanks for your reply
Can i do a ticket as follow so i can fall in the rules of 72 hours transit
I will fly from Dubai UAE to Manila and than i will buy a ticket Manila - Guanghzou -Hong Kong
So my flight back will be to Hong Hong and than to Dubai using my original ticket which will be Hong Kong To Dubai.
Or i can do this ticket Dubai - Guanghzou -Honk Kong -Dubai and i will stay in Guanghzou less than 48 hours
Please let me know which one will be better to fall in the 72 hours Transit Visa Rules
Thanks
