us citizen, traveling pek from manila

Question

My clients are US Citizen and will have a 5DAY tour in Beijing.  However, they will fly from US to Manila first to attend a group reunion for 6Days, then fly out from Manila to Beijing for the tour; Some will fly back to US from PEK; but others will return to Manila again for another vacation before going back to US - is this scenario eligible for a 144h visa free? PLs help. Thanks.

Rob · Answer

Any that fly MNL-PEK-MNL need visas or different flights, because they are visiting China and not in transit. MNL-PEK-a third country, not China or Philippines, qualifies for 144 hours transit without visa.

Yes, Badaling Section is recommended. It is suitable for all ages. Don't worry. As for Juyongguan Section, the public transportation is not that convenient. But the scenery is also impressive.
