Do I need to marry her? Do I need to find job first? Do I need to show evidence about financial situation? Hope you can help me

Since she is just your girl friend, you can only apply a Tourist L to stay with her. Usually, the Tourist L has a short duration of stay, maybe around 30 days. If you want to stay longer, you can try to apply for a long duration of stay or multiple entries type. Or you can try to find a job in China. Then you can change your work Z to a resident permit, with which you can live in China for at least 180 days. If you do not have plans to get married with her, you are not suggested get married just for staying in China for a long time.
