Layover in Shenzhen and Guangzhou
I just booked a return ticket from Melbourne to Hanoi with a 22-hour layover (overnight) in Shenzhen and a 5-hour layover in Guangzhou on the return leg. I was just wondering if I need to apply for a transit visa and how much will it cost? I've read $30 in one place and ~$100 in others. Where do I apply (I've checked and the Consulate in Melbourne do not accept visa application and it has to go through a commercial service, visaforchina.org). I hold a Vietnamese passport. Thank you!

Do you need a visa for a layover in China?
1) A foreign citizen who is transiting through China by air is exempted from a visa if he/she will stay only in the airport for no more than 24 hours and has a valid connecting ticket with confirmed seating on an international flight.What if I have a layover in China?
If you have a long layover and qualified for one of these visa-free policies, you can plan to leave the airport and explore the city of Beijing (a layover time of 8 hours is needed). Take advantage of a visa-free policy and visit the magnificent Great Wall of China (a layover time of at least 10 hours is needed).Can I transit through Guangzhou?
Passengers transiting in Guangzhou may go through the check-in procedures at the counters of China Southern Airlines at Gate 50 on Level 1, Terminal 2 of Baiyun International Airport.Shenzhen and Guangzhou, China, in 2 Days | Travel vlog
