Hi! I am flying from Bangkok, Thailand to Shanghai, and then to San Francisco around 55 hours later on a confirmed flight (confirmed seats, U.S. Passport holder). Am I eligible for the 72 hour permit? Can I leave the airport and stay in a hotel in Shanghai? (We are not planning to leave to any other province or municipality).

Sofia, yes, you are eligible for the 72 hour free transit policy. You can leave the airport and stay in a hotel.
