Qualification for 240 hr visa-free?
Hello, we are 4 US citizens (US passports) traveling on a cruise through Japan and finishing in Seoul, South Korea. We are planning to fly from Seoul (Incheon) through Taipei or Hong Kong into Hangzhou. We will then visit Hangzhou, Xian, and Beijing and, after 7 days total, fly from Beijing direct to Incheon. Would this qualify for the 240 hr visa-free program?

Yes, your itinerary qualifies for 240-hour visa-free transit regardless of whether you arrive from Taipei or Hong Kong before mainland China. The critical requirement is that your immediate post-China destination must be in a different country/territory. For example, if your onward journey is to Seoul, you may proceed with your travel plans and enjoy visa-free access to explore mainland China as desired. Safe travels!
