usa passport, traveling from vietnam to guangzhou back to vietnam on way back to usa.

Question

I hold a USA passport. I booked a RT ticket from SFO to SGN.  In the middle of this trip I will be leaving SN and traveling to Guangzhou.  I will be in Guangzhou less than 72 hours to visit a friend.  I will then be flying back to SGN on my way back to USA. Do I need a Visa to enter Guangzhou?  Mind you, the two RT flights were booked on different itineraries.

If you travel like that, you need to apply for a tourist L type in advance of your trip. Because after your stopover in Guangzhou, you fly back to Vietnam, you are not eligible for the 72 hour free transit.
