If I went on a tourist visa can I extend it once I'm there and settled? Any help with this would be appreciated many thanks :)

yes, you can extend it once you are in China and settled if you go to China on a tourist visa, however, tourist visa can be extended twice at most, it is very hard to change tourist visa into work visa in China.
