Hi, iza, the 72-hour free transit is only applicable to those who transit at airports, so you cannot use the policy. However, according to what you said, you can use 24-hour direct transit service as long as your stay in PRC is within 24 hours. In this case, you don’t need to do anything in advance. But if you stay for more than 24 hours, you need to apply for an entry permit in advance.
