will the 72 hour visa suffice for 1 day in beijing (to visit the great wall)

Question

All of our passports are British/Irish, are we ok to use the 72 hour visa for flying from Hong Kong to Beijing and back to Hong Kong in under 72 hours?

Rob · Answer

No, you do not qualify for 144 hours visa-free transit (which is not a free visa) because Hong Kong-Beijing-Hong Kong isn't a transit. You must have a visa in advance to travel like that.
