Thanks for the heads up.

I'll monitor this, along with Nanjing, and add it to the wiki once it appears on TIMATIC.

Nanjing was supposedly added to the list from 10 September 2015 - but still isn't on TIMATIC... here is a copy of the official statement, but the main question is wether that would be sufficient for airline staff to let you board? http://english.customs.gov.cn/static...21f4eef60.html

Also - unless anyone has any objections, I was thinking of tidying up the wiki to produce a simplified list of all cities eligible for 72-hour TWOV (regular + those commencing at 00:01) - I'm not sure the actual commencement dates in 2014/2015 hold much relevance anymore?
