You do not qualify for 72 hours visa-free transit because you have two stops in China, which immediately limits you to a maximum of 24 hours visa-free transit. If your time in China is longer than 24 hours (from your scheduled arrival in Qingdao to scheduled departure from Kunming), you need to have a visa in advance or else you will be denied boarding in SFO.

Thanks for the reply! We arrive in TAO at 6:35pm and leave KMG at 6:20pm the next day so we are within the country for LESS than 24 hours, can we still leave the airport in Kunming?
