Where and how do I apply for a China Visa. I will be going in November for 13 days.

You should apply for it at the Chinese embassy or consulate which has charge over your residence area.

If you go there for sightseeing visit, you should apply for an L type. First, prepare all application documents needed, including your passport, a copy of the passport's info page, a fully filled-out application form attached with your recent photo, and round-trip tickets and hotel booking records. Then go to the consular office to submit the application.
