Obtaining China's visa for Indians is not very tough. Normally, the whole process take 3-4 functioning days. I didn't take assistance of any traveling representative. At first, I called the Chinese consular office in Delhi to obtain info on visa rules. They stated that vacationer visa applications are not accepted straight by the consular office. Applications have to come with the 'China Visa application solution center', which is run by only VFS.visaforchina.org is the only AUTHORITIES SITE for getting a Chinese visa
