About:China Tours

Beijing-Shanghai-Hanoi- Shanghai-Beijing

Hello
I am currently In china with single entry tourist visa.
Can I undertake this journey:
Beijing - Shanghai
Shanghai - Hanoi
Hanoi - Shanghai
Shanghai - Beijing
Using the 144h free visa as second entry in Shanghai.
The real question is can I take domestic flight with that visa and get to Beijing with it?
(Once at Beijing I'll have to catch my flight back to Amsterdam.)

Thank you

You cannot. 144 visa-free transit (which is not a "free visa") allows transit in Beijing or Shanghai, but not both. If you will be in China for less than 24 hours (from scheduled arrival in Shanghai to scheduled departure from Beijing) then 24 hours transit without visa would apply.

Ok I understand.
How about if I take a train instead of a flight for Shanghai-Beijing? I mean I read that I am allowed to take trains and bus using the 144h visa free rule, right?

You cannot take a train either. Anyway, that's irrelevant, because if your itinerary doesn't qualify then you won't even get to China, because you'll be denied boarding at your origin.
