Hi Olivia! Do you hold Australian passport? If yes, then it is certain that you are eligible for the free transit policy for the first entry. As for your second entry, the transit time is a little bit longer than the “72 hours” regulated in narrow sense. Therefore, I suggest you contact the Beijing Immigration Office to confirm whether your layover time is acceptable. If they say no, then you should apply for a transit entry permit in Australia.
