returning to u.s. from syd through pek

Question

Hello--I am a U.S. citizen who is traveling to Australia. On the way home I will be traveling from Sydney through Beijing and on to San Francisco. I have an 8 hour layover in Beijing. 1) Am I eligible for the 72-visa free entry to tour Beijing? and 2) Will I still have to register with a local police station since I'm only there for 8 hours? Thank you!

You can eligible for your returning trip. If you do not want to stay in a local family home, you do not need to register at local police office.
