72 hour transit stopover bejing

Question

Hello. We will fligh from ho chi Ming city to Vancouver via Beijing. Our stopover from the arrival time to the departure time is exactly 74 hours and 20 minutes. I read that the 72 hours are calculated from 12 am of the next day so we would be within the 72 hours is that right? If not is it just possible to wait for 2.20 hours at the airport and apply than for a visa to be within the 72 hours? Thanks for your help

The 72 hours in Beijing airport are counted from the scheduled arrival time. It all depends on the time printed on your flight ticket. Since your time is over 72 hours, you are suggested to apply for a Transit G in advance, so that you can avoid many troubles.
