starting time of 72 hours free transit

Question

Hello...I will be traveling to Chengdu in December on NZ passport and can enter on 72 hours free transit. However can someone please tell me when does the actual time start as I have read that If i arrive at 8.00 today, the actual time will start 00.01 the following day. Is this true ? I would like to make it sure. I called up the Chinese Consulate in Auckland and they said refer to our website !!

You're right. If you qualify for the 72 hr free transit in Chengdu, it will start the counting from 00:00 the day following the entry date.

Thanks Stephen. Your reply is much appreciated. I guess It's best to double check before you book the flights. Cheers
