I'm a US citizen traveling to Beijing ( arriving Feb 17 then leaving Beijing on Feb 19) for Hong Kong (Feb 19-21) then back to the US on the 21st. Do I qualify for the 36 hr transit visa? Planning on a full day tour to Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tianamen Square while in Beijing. Thank you.

Norman, you qualify for the 72-hour free transit in Beijing. Have a nice trip!

Thank you,Zack!!! Can I ask you another question? When does the 72 hr time start? I'm assuming it's scheduled landing time in Beijing? Help! Thanks!

Dear, currently, the 72 hours start from 00:00 the day following the entry date.
