Hi Laurent, I'm sorry that you can't use the 72 hour free transit. You plan to fly from Hong Kong to Beijing and then back to HK, the route does not qualify. An eligible route should from a first country to mainland China and then to a third country or region, so you need to show the entry permit for the third country.
