how strict is the enforcement of 72 hour stay

Question

HI , HOW strict is the 72 hr. free transit policy as my forward flight out of Beijing is on the 74th hour of actual departure . I will be at the airport on my 72 hour but actually did not leave yet . ??Thanks Robert

The 72 hours are counted from the scheduled arrival time to the scheduled departure time in Beijing airport, so your 74 hours are not able to enjoy the free transit policy. You are still suggested to consult the immigration at the Beijing airport to confirm this.
