Question

Hello,I am a UK citizen currently in India and I would like to visit a friend in Beijing on the way home.  Will this be possible under this 72hr permit?  I wanted to double check because my 2 flights will be booked separately, with different airlines and Beijing is not geographically on my way home at all.
