23 h 45 min layover

Only 15 minutes more and you would be eligible for comfortable 144 hour visa free transit scheme. Anyway, just be relaxed because with such a long layover and regardless that you will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit, you will approach 24/144 hour visa free transit where you will apply for a temporary entry permit. This application is for free.

You will also book your overnight in Beijing and print out your accommodation booking confirmation. When the airport officials see the entire situation, they will grant you a temporary entry permit to exit the airport and to enjoy your time in the city and the surroundings.
