About:24-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Indian passport holder and transition in Kunming and Shanghai airport

I hold Indian Passport and my child holds USA passport. I am travelling to India and I have a 9+ hours wait at Shanghai airport. On way back to USA, I have 15+ hours wait in Kunming airport. Can we leave the airport during the transition and get into the city/hotel.

Thanks
Sidd Datta

Hi, you are eligible for the 24 hour direct transit in mainland China in both directions, no visa will be required for that. You need to apply for a free temporary stay permit at the immigration office when you arrive at the airport, then you can leave there to get into the city/hotel.

I couldn't reach out to China Consulate on USA to confirm this. I have other sites that suggest that I have to stay in the airport.
Do you have any Chinese embassy site which has a clarification on this.
