complicated journey to enjoy the 72-hour free transit

Question

Hello,I have a flight ticket from Tokyo to Beijing and then from Beijing to Seoul. I'm staying less than 72 hours in Beijing so technically I could ask for the 72h transit visa. My only issue is that my first flight transits through Seoul on my way to Beijing (for 2h, so I won't even go through customs).So my question is what matters in this case? Where I started my journey (Tokyo) or my last stop before landing in Beijing (Seoul).Thanks a lot.

Due to the short layover in Seoul on the way from Tokyo to Beijing, you are unable to enjoy the 72-hour free transit. For your trip, you may need to apply for a Transit G in advance for your transfering.
