Do as the embassy told you. After arrival, you need to do it for applying for temporary residence permit.

Why don't you request one from the police department of your country? Anyway, you only stayed in China for 5 years and I don't think a police clearance certificate covering 5 years' time helps very much during your immigration application.

China has not opened the inbound tourism market yet, and China does not issue tourist visas at present.
