And China is interesting in the other direction: certain cities in China allow multi-day "transit" without a Chinese visa, so long as your origin and eventual destination are two different countries.

So if you fly to Europe from Asia via Moscow and have an extended transfer Moscow, you can get a visa on arrival to see the city for a day or two, or if you are mainland Chinese and fly to Bali via Hong Kong, you can have a one day layover and see Hong Kong even without a Hong Kong visit permission.
