I have a US passport and a European passport. I would like to visit a friend in Shanghai. I was looking at a one-way flight from Frankfurt to Shanghai Pudong, then to stay for 144-hours in Shanghai, and utilize a separate one-way ticket out of Shanghai Pudong to Bucharest, Romania. Would this itinerary apply? Or do I need to go somewhere (e.g. Hong Kong) that would make my stay in Shanghai look like an actual transit?

Nicole, this itinerary will be covered by the 144 hour free transit. You don’t need to go to other places.
