Flying to Beijing from HK, plan to stay 2 days visiting the Great Wall and then fly back to HK. Does the 72 hour rules apply?

Jorge, no, it doesn’t apply to the 72 hour free transit rule.

Hi, can you tell me why it doesn't apply? I'm flying from a 3rd Region (HK) to Beijing, stay 2 days and then back to 3rd Region (HK)

Usually, if one wants to use the 72 hour free transit in Beijing, the travel route should be country/region A-Beijing-country/region B. However, according to what you said, you will travel like HK-Beijing-HK. You just fly back to the region you were before entering Beijing. It cannot work!
