I'm having a few days stop over in HK on my next trip to the Phils, and have booked a day trip to China. On my last visit to HK I went to Macau and was able to get a Visa on Entry in both HK and Macau.
I've had a quick look on line and it looks like I need a Visa in advance for China, but prices vary wildly depending on the website I look at. The Chinese Embassy in the UK Website isn't very helpful. Viator, the company who I booked the tour with, won't give out Visa info as they don't want to mislead customers.
Does anyone know for definite, what I need, how much it costs, where I apply, how long it takes...etc? (avoiding 3rd party agents websites, who are going to charge a fee for something I can do myself)
