You don’t have to fly to KUL. There might be something that’s closer. I think HKG counts as a separate country actually, but I don’t know if there are any CAN-HKG flights.
You could risk “missing” the KUL flight, but I’m not sure if it’s a great idea. The border police officers will verify your booking (in the GDS) when you try to enter the country.

Yes HKG counts as a separate country (for now ) and qualifies for TWOV, I don't definitely don't recommend 'missing' that KUL flight. You don't wanna mess with Chinese border police......

Oh yes visa, thanks for the reminder. I'm thinking HEL-CAN-HAN-HKG-CAN-HEL. Is that ok or do I need to buy a visa?

Depends on your nationality if you can do the TWOV (Most EU and North American Nationalities are fine)
plus you need to have a visa for your onward destination Hanoi, or visa waiver or e-visa

Enjoy Hanoi - very nice city

I can an open jaw with a CAN-HKG sector, which means TWOV but I’m not sure if you can take the train? There is a flight but it seems a bit daft

From what I have read around, train is ok for 24hrs TWOV, but not for the 72hrs. I am not sure for the 144hrs...

1. 24-Hour Direct Transit

Under the 24-hour visa-free transit rule, no visa is required for international flight, ship, or train passengers who transit directly through mainland China and will stay for less than 24 hours. Passengers should hold tickets to a third country or region and have a confirmed seat.

Those who transfer in more than one city of China within 24 hours can also enjoy this policy. For instance, if one's trip is Moscow – Lanzhou – Guangzhou – Bangkok and the total time in China is less than 24 hours, the passenger can still enjoy the 24-hour direct transit. But the passenger needs to apply for the temporary entry permit upon his arrival.

Transit visa exemption arrangements for mainland China

The high speed train station won't be qualified for this TWOV, you have to take the normal/slow train.

The problem is on the way back! You can exit via the train border but not for the entry (TWOV).

You have to fly in Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Shenzhen Bao'an Airport or Jieyang Chaoshan Airport https://www.travelchinaguide.com/cit...-visa-free.htm

The plane tickets from both HKG and MFM are expensive (~USD150 one way!)

It is better to fly to BKK/DMK and costs about USD100 if you do not want to pay or go to the embassy/consulate for the visa, costs about the same price!

I’ll only need one way CAN-HKG so hopefully none of that will cause upset
