flying in from taipei to hk to chinaback to taipei

Question

Hello, would you please be able to answer me this question. I was thinking about flying from Taiwan to Hongkong then going to China. There I would apply for the 72hours visa and fly back to Taiwan.Does it work if I buy 3 flight tickets (Taiwan-Hongkong, Hongkong-china, China-Taiwan) lets say from different carriers, or does it have to be one carrier? I am a bit confused that transit actually means, since I used to have only a 4hour-6hour transit, never 3 days.Thank you very much

You can buy different tickets from different carriers or a one-way ticket from one carrier. But you should notice that you can only have one stopover in mainland China. And the transit city should have already adopted the 72-hour free transit program.
