That is incorrect. You are limited to no more than 72 hours transit in Beijing without a visa.

Hi looks like I am planning the same trip, but with the stop over in Beijing on the way to Vietnam. Flight lands on a Saturday at 13.05. Flights depart 20.35 everyday. Is the time calculated from midnight on Saturday not time of landing - thus I can book my flight for Tuesday ? Is this correct?
Thanks
