I want to apply for a Chinese visa for a holiday of less than four weeks with one entry into China.

Hi Jimmy, here is the link for making appointments at the Manchester CVASC center:
https://www.visaforchina.org/web/reservation/ReservationAction_preCreateReservation.action?visacenterCode=MAN1&request_locale=en_US&site_alias=MAN_EN

When I try the link I get this message:-

The server can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network.
Error code: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

Is your server working correctly?

The technical things are difficult for me and I can't figure out what the problem is either...Well, there is another method for you to make the appointment. First enter the official website of the CVASC in Machester (by searching for "CVASC" on the Internet and choose the right center). Then on the homepage of the website, you can see "Quick Access", click "Enter Here" below it, then a new window is displayed. Choose "Enter" in the column of "Appointment". On the newly displayed window, fill in your personal information and go through the process for making an appointment.
