Mongolian visa in Hohhot. I paid 405¥ or 420¥ (can't remember which) and it was ready in 3 days.

Obviously you don't have your passport so you can't book into new hotels or take Chinese trains.

Your receipt is essentially on a scrap piece of paper and only your pickup date and date is on it, no name. You need a passport to get into the consulate, so keep your 'receipt'. I had to wait outside the fence for over half an hour for someone to bring down my passport (I guess I was the only Australian passport at the embassy because the policeman didn't have my name). Also, note the typical two hour Chinese lunch break when the office is closed.

July 2018:
Applied for a 30days tourist visa with a Slovak passport.
They only require to fill out the visa application form + passport size photo and a copy of the passport.
No itinerary, no accomodation needed.
I paid 340¥ and the visa was ready in 3 working days.
