For a journey to China a visa is necessary. Usually only tourist visas for a unique entry are granted and with a duration of 3 months. This visa can be extended in Zhengzhou in the PSB (Public Security Bureau) for a small fee for 1 month. If you want to stay for a longer than 4 months, you must travel to Hong Kong in order to receive for some hundred HK$ a new visa. NOTE!!! NEVER stay in China without a visa. The Chinese government requires a punishment of 500 Yuan per day without visa!

In Hong Kong you can receive a new visa (also for 6 months with maximally 3 months extension) in almost any travel agency within a few days. A new passport photo is necessary in each case.
