Yes, your route is eligible for 240 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa because your immediate points (Ashgabat and Hanoi) before and after mainland China are located in two different countries. Also, it is important to emphasize that the day of your arrival (July 26th) is not counted against your available 10 days (240 hours), because the counting starts at 00:01 following the day after the day of arrival and in your case it is July 27th. If we count the days from July 27 until August 5th, this is exactly 10 days. You are good to go and I wish you a nice visit to China.
