do we need a chinese tourist visa for a one-day excursion from our cruise ship to beijing?

Question

Our itinerary on Coral Princess:10-11-18  Hiroshima, Japan10-14-18  Beijing (Tianjin)  -- Visa Needed?10-16-18  Incheon, Korea10-18-18  Shanghai (ship to airport, flight to USA) -- Visa Needed?I believe we're probably OK for Shanghai transit, but not sure about one-day roundtrip from ship to Beijing. Any recent experiences appreciated.  (Can't get a straight answer from ANYONE!  What's the deal?)

Do you mean your travel route would be Japan-Beijing (Tianjin) for less than 144 hours-Incheon, Korea-Shanghai-USA, right? If yes, you  qualify for 144h free transit in mainland China in both ways. No visa will be needed.
