About:72-Hour Visa-Free Transit

What if I need to stay for less than 72 hours?

I am looking to transit through Beijing to Hong Kong, but I only need to spend 2 days in Beijing (48 hours). This condition is confusing:
''5. Passengers are not allowed to leave the transit city during the 72 hours,''
Is this only for other travel, such as by train or road? Or do we have to stay the full 72 hours before flying on to Hong Kong?

Liza, I'm trying to clarify two points here for you.
1. At present, the 72 hour free transit policy is only available at airports, so passengers by train or road cannot make use of the policy.
2. The policy enables qualified passengers to stay for as long as 72 hours and they are not allowed to leave the transit city during the layover time, but that is not say you must stay the full 72 hours. So, you needn't worry about it and you are eligible for the free transit.
