Your itinerary:UK - Japan - Seoul - Beijing - UKIs definitely eligible for 144 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. The main detail is the segment Seoul - Beijing - UK. As you can see, your immediate points before and after your Chinese destination (Beijing in this case) are in two different countries.However, your idea to do this:Seoul - Shanghai - SeoulIs definitely not eligible for any kind of visa free transit scheme because this is just a return trip and not a transit. Also, you will see here that your immediate points before and after your Chinese destination (Shanghai in this case) are in the same country. They have to be in two different countries to be eligible. For example, if you alter your itinerary to look like:Seoul - Shanghai - Taipei (Taiwan) - SeoulThat would be fine and eligible. Have i nice journey.
