Which city will you go? Last time I did it in CJ.
I went there one day earlier, crossed the boarder, paid the fee first.
The 2nd day I went again, but this time to the embassy directly.
For reasons, just tell them it's difficult to arrange an appointment that fits your tight schedule in China.
Actually the VOs all know why you come to apply for visa....If they are in good moods, they'll let you go la.
Good luck!!
