Hi to everyone. It has been a while since I last posted.
I am returning to mainland China this summer. I lived there for years but this is the first time I will be entering on a tourist visa. I would prefer to just get it in Hong Kong; it is my understanding that this is not too complicated.
Can anyone tell me the travel agents or offices that can take care of tourist visas? I know my way around Kowloon and Central, so an address would suffice.

Thank you.

Any branch of China Travel Services will do it for you, there's one next to Wan Chai MTR for example. There are offices all over HK, check in Yellow Pages for the addresses. I guess pretty much any travel agent would do but that's who I have used for China Visas.

Why does anyone need to go through travel agents to obtain a regular TOURIST visa for the mainland?

Nonsense!

You can get your mainland visa from the China Foreign Affairs Bureau, Visa Section, in the CHina Resources Building, 18 Harbour Rd., Wanchai.

IT's cheaper than the agents, and more direct in the first place.
