Sarah · Answer

Jin, you mean that after your transit in Beijing, you will fly back to ICN? If yes, you don't qualify for the 72 hour free transit. According to the policy, after a transit in a Chinese city, one should fly to a third country or region, but you fly back to ICN, from where you departs for China.
