Depends on what you mean by Catholic. If you want to go see something as a tourist, then as ICN points out you can just google the location of one. But, if you are interested in worship, then you should be aware that although the Church will be nominally catholic, it isn't in communion with the holy sea. Instead its under the direction of the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Assoscaition, which itself is under the direction of the Religious Affairs Bureau So, if its important for you to use it for confession or to receive communion then it may not be what you want.

Ben_Carter:

The Vatican recognises the sacraments offered by the Catholic church in China. Communion and confessions count just fine.

The Vatican's official position is that they are illegitimate but valid.

glydwelle:

The Chinese Catholic church also teaches that abortion is okay. Very much anti-Catholic. Like Matt said it's not really true Catholic church, it's just another part of the Chinese government.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
