Macau has the same policy as HK. So, she cannot go China-Macau-China or CountryA-Macau-CountryB. But she can do China-Macau-any country and vice versa.
I'm assuming that HK/Macau are not considered valid "third countries" for immigration purposes then?
Can she not land in Hong Kong, take the direct ferry to Shenzhen from the airport (without passing Hong Kong immigration), then enter Hong Kong from Shenzhen overland to catch her flight out of HKG? I'm pretty sure the seven-day rule applies to entries by land as well as air.
(Or of course, simply fly Shanghai to Shenzhen, then enter Hong Kong overland.)
I was considering flying PVG-SZX since the tickets are generally cheaper, and then crossing at Lo Wu via Shenzhen Metro, but I wasn't sure if the term "each landing" under the transit provision also applied to land crossings or only to air landings at HKG. Do you know of anyone who's done it that way?
Thanks both for your help!
