re travel out of china to hk & return

Question

Hi, I'm from Australia and have applied for Single entry visa as I will only be there for 27 days. Now I think I'd like to go out of Mainland China to stay in HK for 2-3 days. Is there any way that once in Mainland China, I can get approval to go to HK and back, without re-applying for a new visa. I do not know the actual dates when I would be wishing to go to HK, so could not apply for a Double Entry Visa, as you must supply them with a full Itinerary of all your trip.I can't really make HK my final stop then fly back to Australia, as my flights are direct, (no stops) into and out of Changsha, so after I am in HK, I must get back to Changsha to get my return flight to AU.

Dear, it is impossible for you to re-enter without re-applying for a new visa. You are advised to travel like this: Australia-China (27 days)-HK (2 or 3 days)-Changsha (72 hours)-Australia. In this case, you can use the 72 hour free transit in Changsha when you re-enter. No visa will be needed then, but you should fly in and fly out all the way.
