the properly completed Chinese Visa Application Form with one recent passport photo attached on it.
the letter of introduction of your company
the round-trip airline ticket and its copy

Dear sir/Madam,
Im india passport holder. if I plan to visit Shen Zhen china, and near city Futian. for me Shen Zhen entry passport enough? If i want to extend the stay for more than 5 days what i should do?
I plan to go Shen Zhen via Hong Kong do i need any procidure to follow. By MTR i plan to reach Shen Zhen. Fro there my friends will take me to Futial.
Which is cheapest and safest flight service. Can i go direct to Shen Zhan?
Jun. 29,2009 01:09
Mr.Robert replied:
Shenzhen entry passport? What's this? You mean a visa for visiting special economic zone? Since you will visit Futian, you probably need to apply for a Chinese tourist visa instead of a special economic zone visa.

I Under Stand I need to get Chineese visa, ok, but what i ask is im going throuh HK airport. Can immigrate and go up to Lo hu with chineese passport.
Jun. 29,2009 04:26
Mr.Robert replied:
Mr D. Suresh,
You make me confused: "Can immigrate and go up to Lo Hu with Chinese passport".
You hold Indian passport or Chinese passport? How long will you stay in Hong Kong? Indian passport can stay in Hong Kong with visa for up to 30 days. During your stay in Hong Kong, you are able to apply for a Chinese visa at the Visa Office of the Commissioner's of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of P.R.C in HKSAR.

I think you need a F business visa to China. You have to make an appointment with the Chinese embassy in India online ahead of your visit to the embassy.
