About:144-Hour Visa-Free Transit

Sydney - Hong Kong - Chengdu - Hong Kong - Sydney

I plan to go to a wedding in Chengdu. Flight is from Sydney via Hong Kong to Chengdu. Departure flight is Chengdu - Hong Kong and later back to Sydney

Will this be OK to qualify for 144-Hour Free Transit in Chengdu ?

Thanks for your help

No it isn't as it's not a transit.
You either change your flight or apply for a tourist visa.

So I should change to a direct flight from Sydney to Chengdu.

Then depart from Chengdu to Hong Kong so the international destination I arrive from is different than the international destination I am leaving to. Please confirm.

Cheers

Hong Kong to Chengdu to Sydney is recognised as 3 separate country requirements.

You must be in transit to a third country or region (Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan are included). For example, USA–Shanghai–Taiwan is an acceptable itinerary for a 144-hour transit visa in Shanghai, but USA–Shanghai–USA is not.
