length of tourist visa (l type)

Question

I am a US citizen, considering accepting an expat job position in India. While there I would like to go see the Great Wall of China. So I have to questions - how long does an L type last? I'm afraid if I got it in the US before I moved to India, the L type to visit China would expire before I had the chance to go. So if this is the case, as a US citizen in India, how/where would I apply for it to visit China?

Angie, the L type is usually valid for only 3 months, unless you apply for a 10-year multiple-entry L type. So my advice is to try to apply for a 10-year multiple-entry one in the US. If you cannot get it, you can apply for a normal L type when you are in India.
