canadian passport - flying to hong kongqingdao

Question

With just a Canadian passport am I able to fly to Qingdao on 72 hour transit rule and then fly on to Hong Kong to stay for several days?  I would have my pre-purchased airline tickets including the one back to Canada.  I could go to Hong Kong first and then fly on to Qingdao if that makes any difference.Another option I'm considering is to fly to Qingdao from Canada and then fly on to Hanoi Vietnam to visit a family member. After the visit with my daughter I would fly to Hong Kong from Vietnam for a few days before flying back home to Canada. Will this satisfy the rules to avoid getting the Visa?

If you fly to Qingdao for less than 72 hours from Canada, and then fly to HK, you can enjoy the 72 hour free transit in Qingdao. No entry permit is needed. Or if you fly to Qingdao from Canada, and then fly to Vietnam, the 72 hour free transit is also applicable to your situation. You don’t need to apply for the entry permit either.
