Apparently if you come to HK, the agents can do it in a day or two, but its just single or dual entry visa, not multiple entry. Rush orders for next day is HK$1650 (US$200+) and 2 day wait is HK$1250

Once you get GE use that number as trusted traveler when you list. I just went thru SEA--put my carry-on and handbag on the conveyor--everything inside--toiletries, computer...Then I walked thru wearing my shoes, jacket and scarf. PRICELESS!
BTW--ICN airport is worth visiting. You can do a DMZ tour from the airport. There is a funky hotel in Airport Town (with shuttle) and a great little Korean BBQ joint around the corner. I think the hotel is Queen. There is a train in town to go to Seoul. You can also investigate homestays.

Beijing Soon to Allow "72-Hour Transit Without Visa"
By Leon Zheng, WCARN.com | Dec. 05, 2012
Starting from Jan. 1, 2013, foreign passengers from 45 countries or regions, with a third country visa and flight ticket, will be able to enjoy the new policy of "72-hour Transit Without Visa (TWOV)" when transiting through Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK).
The following is the list of the countries and regions that the "72-hour Transit Without Visa" policy is applied:
Twenty four European Schengen countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland;
Seven other European countries: Russia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine;
Six American countries: the United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Chile;
Two Oceania countries: Australia, and New Zealand;
Six Asian countries: Korea, Japan, Singapore, Brunei, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar."
Obviously, you still need refundable tickets and hotel/itinerary, but no cost to you!

Very good news!! PVG here I come!
I think it was reduced to 24 last year--all transit visas thru China mainlad airports--and technically , you couldn't leave the airport. You also have to have proof of onward travel.
I have a tendancy to think Yeechong has it right--regarding the Chinese being the Chinese...

Tony--the 72 hour transit is for Beijing and I see that you must have onward ticket to a third country. You can't just go to PEK and back for 72 hrs. I don't see PVG. Sorry...

Bleah. I'm just annoyed with the whole schmear. I think once the tourists stop coming and the money slows down, they will reconsider. (I hope)
