Does anybody have experience doing TWOV flying into HGH and out of PVG? As I read TIMATIC this should be allowed:

According to the summary on tripadvisor, the answer is yes for the 144 hour visa:
- You enter the country through one of these eligible airports and leave from another of these airports. So you do not need to leave the country by departing from the airport in the same city that you arrived in as long as the arriving and departing airport are among this list of four (You can arrive in Shanghai and leave from Hangzhou for example);
Note that they claim this isn't true for the 72-hour visa:
- You will leave the country by departing from the airport in the same city that you arrived in (for Shanghai you can arrive at one airport and leave from the other);
