Answered by Mrs. Jessica1. If you have Chinese partners, you can ask them to provide you an invitation letter; if you don't have a Chinese partner, you can apply for a tourist visa.
2. You may be required to present your bank statement, the Chinese embassy usually requires the applicants must have at least 100 US dollars per day when they are in China.
3. Yes, the hotel booking in Chin and the round-way air ticket are needed.
4. Indian passport holders are exempt of visa to Hong Kong for 14 days; if you will stay in Hong Hong, you will have to apply a Hk visa from the Chinese embassy in India.
