Can we leave the airport in Hong Kong and then again in Bejing?Thank you

Doyle, as you enter and return all through Hong Kong, I'm afraid this route is not eligible for the free transit policy.

I think you fit in the free transit. Because you arrive from a third country (HK) and leave to a third country (HK)Paul

Paul the 3rd country must be different if you wanna use the 72h. Come from and go back to HK doesn't qualify for the 72h.

do i qualify for 72 hour visa
