can i use the 72h free transit if i fly from beijing to xian?

Question

Hi, I hold a Spanish passport who plans to visit Xian just for 3days. my Itinerary will be Dubai-Beijing- Xian I will not leave the airport in Beijing. I have told I am entitle of this 72 h free transit as far as I return to Dubai from a third country ,for example Dubai-Beijing-Xian -Hong Kong -Dubai. I want to double check if this information is valid .If not Can I do it stopping in Shanghai instead of Beijing? My only final destination in China will be Xian.Thank you very much

Maria, when you wanna use the 72h twov, just 1 stop within China is allowed, so Dubai-Beijing/Shanghai-Xian is not eligible for the policy. You are advised to apply for a visa for that beforehand.
