Question

Quote from the rules... where they can enter or leave from any port in ShanghaiDoes it mean that I can fly from Canada to Shanghai airport, then leave Shanghai on a cruise ship?  Will the 72 hours rule work for me?

Tracy · Answer

Frank, the 72 hour free transit is only applicable to those traveling by flight. But if you fly to Shanghai for less than 144 hours, and then leave to a third country or region instead of Canada by a cruise ship, you can use the 144 hour free transit. In this way, no entry permit is needed either.
