Astrid · Answer

Hi, you won’t qualify for the 72 hour free transit because it only allows the traveler to transit in one Chinese city. But if you total layover time in mainland China is within 24 hours from Vancouver to Bangkok or from Bangkok to Vancouver, you can make use of the 24 hour direct transit. Then you can just apply for a free temporary stay permit at the airport to explore the city. Otherwise, you need to apply for a visa beforehand for the trip.
