jfk to hkg. hkg to shanghai to jfk

Question

I am looking to visit Hong Kong (HKG) from USA (JFK) holding a US passport for one day.  Upon leaving HKG to JFK, I want to visit my family in Shanghai for 3 days again using a US passport. So is departing from HKG (holding US Passport) --> PVG  --> JFK.  Am I qualify for the 144-hour free transit?  Thanks.

Yes Mike, HKG > PVG > DESTINATION is a common plan.I recently did the same myself recently.The official rules are that the country you enter from and the country you depart to must be different.So JFK > HKG > PVG > JFK is finebut JFK > HKG > PVG > HKG > JFK is not.also works in reverse (and you may or may not find better flight deals) JFK > PVG > HKG > JFK etc etc the key part is like I said, arrive from and depart to must be different countries (and not china, except Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan)
