I am traveling to and fro from KIX (Osaka, Japan) to CCU (Kolkata, India) via China Eastern airlines.

The going flight has 3 stops in China, at DLC (2h 10min, China), YNT (1h, China) and KMG (2h 30min, China) and,

the returning one has 2 stops in China, KMG (2h 25min, China) and NKG (3h 30min, China)

{All layovers are "Connect via airport"}

I heard people saying we need to produce China visa if we have more than 1 stop or 2 stops or something like that. Being a first flier on own, can anyone please help me to clarify will there be any problem in these Chinese airports if I am travelling without any Chinese visa.

I have an Indian Passport.

Thanks in advance.

I once travelled from AMS (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) to PNH (Phnom Penh, Cambodia) using KLM and China Southern Airlines with stops in PEK (Beijing, China) and CAN (Guangzhou, China). At PEK I got a visa free transit visum. In CAN this visum would be stamped again and I would be leaving the country. The same in reverse order on the way back.

The wikipedia page Visa policy of China explains the rules about the 24-hour TWOV (transit-without-visa) policy. India is not excluded from this policy. Neither are the airports of your stops. The only thing you have to keep in mind is the duration of 24 hours. Reading your itinerary this should be OK. I don't know about the frequency of flights on the airports you have as stops in case you miss one of the flights. Especially with the 1h stop in YNT.
