Once you get to Wuhan, I don't know if WUH has a separate Immigration queue for TWOV, but if you don't see one, just get into a queue for Foreigners and show your passport, onward eticket on CZ, your arrival card that states "Transit" as your purpose for being in China, and state you are just here for TWOV. They should stamp you in, at which point you may hang out at the airport or leave and go into the city.
Based on the above, I assume I'll be able to leave the airport for my 10.5 hour transit layover in Urumqi? Similar circumstances and I note the mention of 'all airports in China' but want to be safe. USA citizen here if that affects anything.
Specifically, I'm travelling TPE-URC, URC-ISB, changing carriers from CI to CZ - I just am unsure if any special restrictions apply to Urumqi and appreciate any insights
Thanks much,
