How can I get a visa for chimelong for a visit?

Tara, so you will go to Guangzhou, right? You can't get the VOA there. If your travel route fulfills requirements of 72-hour free transit, you may enjoy this policy at Guangzhou so that the entry permit is not needed. If you don't qualify, please apply for a tourist L type entry permit in advance. If you are in Macau, you should submit the application to the Office of the Commissioner of China Foreign Affairs Ministry, The required documents include your passport, a copy of it, a filled-out application form affixed with your recently-taken bare-headed photo, and round-trip ticket and hotel booking records.

Make sure you have a photocopy of your passport with you as instructions on Web are not too clear. Witnessed many including myself turned away.
