Anyone have any experience of getting a visa to visit China. I'd like to try and get out there next week for a trade show. Anyone know how long it takes or has anyone used one of the fast track websites?

It's fairly easy - get an L visa BEFORE you enter.
You need to give them a picture too - it takes 4 days to 14 days normally, and costs us $30 USD or (lol) Americans $130 - or you can express it for an additional $30 or an additional $150 dollars if you are american.
something like that anyway - Bing / Google "Tourist L Visa" China Embassy

We got ours issued in Hong Kong where you can enter with just a UK passport. I seem to remember the guest house we were staying in arranged it in a couple of days.
This could be an option if you can't sort something in the UK. Plus you get a trip to HK included in the bargain !Comment
