Travel to China via Hong Kong?

[Katiesmom]

Hi,

I will be travelling with my dog from Canada to Dalian, China. I know that if Dalian is her first point of entry to China then she can qualify for the 7 day in home quarantine. I am considering a flight route that has a stop in Hong Kong. Does anyone know if Hong Kong is considered as a point of entry for Mainland China, or would Dalian still be considered my first stop in China on a Vancouver - Hong Kong - Dalian route?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Hello Katiesmom - Hong Kong has its own regulations concerning pet import and they differ greatly from those of mainland China. If you are flying the same airline in and out of HK, your pet should transit the country (it will need a transit permit).
