can I get a Chinese Visa in Hong Kong?

Hi - I have a UK passport and attending a trade show in Hong Kong early October. I would like to visit a factory in Hohhot (Inner Mongolia) however my UK passport has gone for renewal and won't be back till end October. Is it possible for me to get a Chinese entry permit in HKG or at port of entry though I have to fly to Hohhot. FYI have had 3 Chinese entry permits issued in my old passport. My stay in Hohhot is 24 to 48 hours. Please let me know my options. Thanks
