China visa applications for the Washington, DC consular district are submitted at the Visa Section of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC — not at a separate consulate. Here is the exact address, the office hours, and what you need to bring, plus how to skip the trip entirely with mail-in service.

Visa Section, Embassy of China, 2201 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Suite 110, Washington, DC 20007. Office hours: Monday–Friday, 9:30 am–2:30 pm (except holidays). Visa Section phone: (202) 495-2071. Email: washington_visa@csm.mfa.gov.cn.
Plan to arrive early — the Visa Section works on a ticket system and the line forms before opening. Bring your passport original, the printed barcode page from your approved COVA application, and the government fee payment.
The DC consular district covers Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Delaware — plus Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas and Puerto Rico, formerly served by the Houston consulate and now handled through the Embassy in Washington, DC. If you live in one of these states, this is where your application goes.
You do not have to visit the Visa Section yourself. Mail your passport and documents to us and our DC-district specialist submits in person, picks up your passport, and mails it back. Full service from $360, submission + pickup only from $280 — and you pay only after approval.
No appointment is needed for submission — the Visa Section works on a walk-in ticket system during office hours. Arrive early, especially on Mondays.
Yes. An agent can submit and pick up on your behalf with your passport original and the printed barcode page. That is exactly what our service does.
