About:144-Hour Visa-Free Transit

144-hour visa-free transit question

I am planning a short sightseeing trip to Shanghai for my family (myself, my wife , and my daughter) on our way back from Indonesia to United States. Here are the details of our itinerary:
1. January 2, 2023 from Jakarta, Indonesia to Pudong airport , Shanghai, China arriving at 8:10 PM (we will transit through Hong Kong to change planes, but we will not be getting out of the Hong Kong airport).
2. Stay in a hotel in Shanghai from January 2, 2023 to January 7, 2023 (less than 5 days)
3. January 7, 2023, from Pudong Airport, Shanghai, China to Dallas, Texas, USA via 6:05 PM flight.

Can you help me confirm if I am eligible for the 144-hour visa-free transit?

Your itinerary:

Jakarta - Hong Kong - Shanghai - Dallas

If you mentioned your ALL stops, is definitely and without any doubt eligible for 144 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa.

When I say all stops it is important to mention every singe of them because only those immediately before (Hong Kong) and after (Dallas) your Chinese destination (Shanghai) really matter. Everything before and after that is irrelevant. I say this because I am afraid that you intend to fly from Shanghai to Dallas via Hong Kong and in that case, you would not be eligible!
