There are two ways. First, you each apply for a L type for your Beijing Trip. It takes around four working days for Chinese embassy to deal with your application. You need to prepare your passport, completed application form, a recent passport photo, round-trip air tickets and hotel reservation in Beijing. Second, you may make use of 72 hours free transit policy to enjoy your three-day trip in Beijing. It requires that you fly from USA to another country and just transit in Beijing when you reach your destination country. Please remember that your flight can't stop at any other Chinese city except Beijing. Then you can apply for 72 hours free transit with your onward air ticket when you arrive in Beijing. Please make sure that your flight for your destination country leaves within 72 hours.
