Is this doable? good idea??
I'm considering a trip in November - LAX to Kathmandu via Guangzhou (China Southern). The only problem is that on the way there I have a 13.5 hr layover, arriving in the morning at 7am and on the way back a 15 hr layover arriving again at 8am.
On my way to KTM I wanted to go into Guangzhou and explore it, I heard it is a 72 hr visa free zone. I am a US citizen. The city center is just over an hour away so i'm thinking this shouldn't be a problem.
On my way back I plan to take a train from Guangzhou to Shenzen and spend the day in Shenzen.
Do you think both these excursions are doable without any problems?
