guangzhou for 12 hours - do i need to get the 72 hour visa exemption?

Question

I am travelling from Paris to Brisbane via Guangzhou, with a 12 hour stopover and would like to go into the city.  Do I need to line up to get a 24hour exemption policy??  or do I just leave through a normal customs checkout counter?  Thanks!

You need to line up to apply a stay permit under the 24-hour exemption policy at the immigration. After you get the work permit, you can leave the airport for the city downtown area, otherwise, you cannot leave.
