About:240-hour Visa-free Transit in Chengdu

Would the following route be ok for Chengdu 144 hours visa free policy?

(Flight 1) UK -- Chengdu (via AbuDhabi)
(Flight 2) CD -- AbuDhabi 2/3 night stay
(Flight 3) AbuDhabi -- UK

It seems to me that you need to have a 3rd country - if you do a stop over in Abudhabi on the way home then does this count as transit?
And then you would just show your booking in Shuangliu Airport - which would show your outgoing flight would be to AbuDhabi?

And of course the other way round - so having a small vacation in AbuDhabi first, and then flying to CD, and then flying to the UK? The UK is still the first and final destination, but AduDhabi is being used as a second holiday destination?

I mean not just using AbuDhabi as a layover for a connection, I mean using it as a mini holiday destination, either before or after CD, to provide a 3rd country.

You are flying UEA-CD-UAE and therefore you're not in transit at CS. It's irrelevant how long you spend in UAE. You need a Chinese visa or different flights.

But what about UK-UEA-CD and then CD-AMS-UK

UK is still the first and last destination, it is just the flight connection in a different country?

Only the stops immediately before and after Chengdu are relevant. UEA-CTU-AMS on non-stop flights clearly qualifies.
