About:How to Apply a China Visa in Hong Kong

How to apply for Chinese visa in ADVANCE while in UK.

We will be travelling to Hong Kong for 2 months and while there, will hop over to China now an then. Tried applying for visa in UK but they asked for uploads of round trip tickets and hotel bookings. We will only be planning the trips to China while in HK and would be travelling by train so how do we provide them with round trip or hotel details? I know we can get transit visas but we were hoping to get visas in advance and forgo the form filling and queueing on landing in China. So how do we get round this? Or is it better we apply visas while in HK?

You can apply for a China visa at HK visa center. The requirements are the same as you apply in the UK, so round trip tickets and hotel reservation are needed. And normally you will only be given a single entry visa so you can only travel to the mainland once.
