I think you can apply from Indian consulate in Guangzhou. You should prepare the following documents before you ask for a renewal:1.2 recent photos 40X40mm or 50X50mm, same as those used on your passport2.Original passport with copy of same (first two pages, last two pages and current resident visa page)3.A filled application form (downloaded from the website of Indian consulate in Guangzhou). According to the requirements, original passport should presented at the counter when you apply for a new one and collect your new one. A normal one costs RMB 496 and a jumbo one, RMB655. As for mail service, I think you should ask the consulate because nothing related is found on the website. Contact information as follow:Address: Unit 1-4, 14th Floor HNA Tower No.8 Lin He Zhong Road, Tianhe District,GuangzhouTel: 85501501 to 05 Fax-85501510, 85501513
