Departure in less than 4 weeks

Hi. I plan to attend a scientific conference in Beijing, together with sightseeing. The intended trip is only for 4 to 5 days in total. Assuming I am flying out on 3rd or 4th September, is there still enough time to submit my application for further processing? I currently live in Berlin (for 12 months), hold a Malaysian passport and am also an Australian resident. Thank you.
