As its returning to the same location I am afraid the 72 hour visa wont apply. What if I book another ticket (to HKG) get the 72 hour visa, fly back and cancel the HKG the next day?

Just trying to figure out creative options. Thanks in advance!
A few problems:
* As jiejie said, you probably meant Transit without Visa (TWOV), not Transit Visa (G Visa).
* You must depart to a third country, or you may stay in China longer than you may hope for. That applies for TWOV, and probably also for the G Visa.
