There is an option for you to extend the stay duration on L visa, however, L visa can only be extended twice at the exit-entry administrative bureau of public security bureau, 30 days each time, you can only stay in China for 90 days continuousely without exiting Mainland China. However, once you extend your L visa, your previous multiple entry L visa expires automatically. After 90 days stay in China, you have to exit Mainland China to apply for a new visa to return to Jinzhou.
