Part 1:
Lina, having in mind the fact that there is no direct flight connection between Guangzhou and Bishkek, I assume that you will have additional landings within mainland China. This is fine, but you have to understand that additional landings will increase your total transit time in China. So, for your information, total transit time is counted from your first scheduled landing in China until your final scheduled departure from China. In other words, if your final departure is from Beijing, the time will be counted from your scheduled landing in Guangzhou until your final scheduled departure from Beijing. This is very important because the time calculated in this way cannot exceed 24 hours even for a minute. When you are aware of this, you will easily calculate your transit time going to Bishek and returning to Phnom Penh. In general, your intention is eligible for 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. Of course, if your total transit time is shorter than 24 hours. So, if your total transit time is shorter than 24 hours here is what will you do in the exact sequence. When you perform check-in in Cambodia you will declare that you are flying to Bishkek via Ch under 24 hour visa free transit. In that moment you will present your flight tickets to the check-in staff. After a short check, you will be allowed to board Guangzhou bound plane. Upon your landing in Guangzhou the first thing that you will do will be to fill out arrival card because you will have to collect & re-check your luggage and for this reason, you will simply have to formally enter China. You will tick the box on the arrival card where it is written - transit. After that you will perform automatic fingerprinting. With a filled out arrival card and a fingerprinting receipt you will approach 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets and along with arrival card and fingerprinting receipt.
