Hi Aika, based on the official information, the 72 hours in Beijing airport are caculated from the scheduled arrival time. However, I heard that in the reality, the time on the entry permit are from the 00:00 the following day you enter Beijing. So you are suggested to confirm this with the immigration in Beijing airport.
