72 hour transit if i travel from hk to chengduthen back to hk

Question

I am a US citizen, traveling from USA to Australia, then to Hong Kong, from Hong Kong to Chengdu, I will be in Chengdu less than 2 days, flying back to Hong Kong and one day later, back to USA. I have arranged a place to stay with Airbnb with a lady in Chengdu, so I have a receipt for payment  Will I qualify for 72 hour transit or need to get Chinese visa? Nancy

You cannot enjoy the 72-hour free transit policy, because you fly from HK and returns to HK. You are suggested to apply a single entry Tourist L for your Chengdu visit.
