I am German citizen living in the US.

I shall be arriving in Beijing around 16:05 on 11 April from Toronto. My scheduled departure is on 14 April at 13:20 for Bangkok. Later in the week I shall be travelling to Hong Kong and then on to Toronto.

Is my understanding is correct that I do not require any visa because my stay in Beijing is less than 72 hours and my I have ticket with seat reservation for Bangkok with onward trip to Hong Kong and Toronto.

Please advice.
