Rachel, you mean you want to travel like this: London-Guangzhou-HK (72 hours)-Guangzhou-HK? If yes, and you can make sure that your layover time in Guangzhou is less than 24 hours respectively for both transits, you don’t need to apply for an entry permit because the 24 hour direct transit is applicable to your situation. There won’t be any issue. As for HK, you can enjoy free entry to go there.
