Sandeep, you can transit through Beijing without a transit permit. If you want to go into the city, you should apply for a temporary stay permit at the airport. The stay permi is free of charge.

Thanks Regina.
One follow up question - where do I have to apply for "Stay permit"? Here in USA before leaving or I can apply in Beijing when I land there? Thanks again for the help.
