72hr free transit when holding an l visa

Question

I currently have a double entry tourist L type; I've used one entry but not the second one. It expires in May 2015. I wish to fly through Shanghai in December 2014 (Hong Kong > Shanghai > London) staying less than 72 hrs.Can I still get the 72 hr free transit, and save the second entry on my double entry L type for a future trip, in early 2015? I suppose I would have to be careful to tell any immigration officer what to stamp?

Finn, you can make use of 72 hours free transit when you are in Shanghai. I think you just need to tell the immigration officer that you plan to make use of 72 hours free transit instead of the left entry for your L type. Then he/she will understand and won't stamp on your L type.
