can hong kong be considered a third country for the 144 hour visa?

Question

I'm planning to come from Thailand to Shanghai and use the 144 hour free transit.  Then I would like to go to Hong Kong.  Is this possible?

Kelvin · Answer

Steve, if you travel like that, you can enjoy the 144 hour free transit in Shanghai because HK will be considered as a third region when speaking of the 144 hour free transit policy.
