What's the difference between getting a tourist visa and a visiting visa?

They are all short-term non-work visas, but the materials submitted are somewhat different. If you have enough money, you can give a simple travel plan or a round-trip ticket to prove that you will return to China on time. You need a lot of certificates from people you want to see. For example, children studying abroad need proof that they need to be at school and proof of kinship with you.
