Disregard. I think this site has given me a bum steer

They seem to indicate that Guangdong has a 144 hour TWOV option... But that seems to differ from the TIMATIC above ???
Hi. The wiki at the top of this page is current. I just double checked TIMATIC via a live source in case there had been a change but there hasn't.

It's seems possible travel china guide is confusing TWOV with the following:

Tourists traveling in a group organized by a Chinese
international tour operator or registered travel agency for
a maximum stay of 6 days if:
- arriving from Hong Kong or Macao to take a trip to the
Zhujiang Delta in Guangdong province; and
- arriving at/departing from Dongguan (DGM), Guangzhou
(CAN), Huizhou (HUZ), Shantou (SWA), Shenzhen (SZX) or
Zhuhai (ZUH); and
- being a national of a country having diplomatic relations
with China (People's Rep.)
but that is a different tour group arrangement.
