Any help appreciated thanks
Please -- it is N
T a visa. It's permission to transit
without a visa. Each time you enter you must have proof of onward travel (even if on a separate ticket) within the defined 144 hour period (as discussed above).
With regard to your specific plans, what you have proposed will NOT work. Arrival in the Beijing region and departure from Shanghai region is
not allowed. These are different regions and travel between them under the 144 hour TWOV scheme is not allowed. Travel LHR-PEK, PEK-HAN-PVG, PVG-LHR, however, will work because you wouldn't be going between regions within China. If you have a LHR-PVG return ticket booked you will have to leave and re-enter China twice in order to travel betweek PEK and BJS and visit China without a visa. Ex: LHR-PVG-HKG-PEK, PEK-HAN-PVG, PVG-LHR.
You should have a detailed look at the Wiki at the top of this thread for more details.
