Type of Visa required to students

Fede, if you will stay in a hotel and you will book round-trip tickets together, or if you can get an invitation letter stating you will be in China for sightseeng, you can apply for a tourist L type. If you don't want to book hotels and round-trip tickets and you don't have the invitation letter, you can apply for an X2 type. In my opinion, you had better apply for an X2 type because it's more suitable for your travel purpose.
