does the 72 hour visa work for my schedule?

Question

Hello,I would first stop for transit in Guangzhou on 10-30-2017 17:00 and fly to Beijing.I arrive in Beijing on 10-30-2017 23:10. How long am I allowed to stay in Beijing within the 72 hour free transit?On the Nov 30, 2017 I would return to Beijing at 05.40 and leave again on 12-02-2017 08:20 directly to Seoul. Can I stay within this time frame again without an official entry permit?Thank you very much for your help!

On your first question, you cannot have 72 hours free transit in Beijing  because of the stop in Guangzhou. You need a visa for this. On Nov 30 you can stay without a visa for 72 hours if your arrival flight to Beijing is non-stop from a third country (not China and not South Korea).
