In January '13 I did a backpacking trip through Turkey / China / Singapore / Indonesia / Malaysia / Cambodia / Thailand / China (again) / Turkey (again).

To realize it, I needed a Chinese multiple-entry visa. Yes, it's possible for a backpacker traveler to get that visa.

To get it I needed to fill an extensive application form from the Chinese consulate. Already in the application form they ask to you whether you need a single entry visa or multiple entry visa. Moreover, the main things they required from me was:

• Book a hostel/hotel or inform any place where I'll stay (They require the place's address in the form application)
• Tell them how many days you will stay on China
• Explain what you will do in China (There was no problem in saying I was going to China to on backpacking trip. But to reinforce it I wrote on the form all the routes was going to travel.)

They gave me a two-entry visa. It was so simple, with no interview, without entering the consulate. I just sent the documents via mail and waited for them to return my passport with my visa.

I got the visa in my country (Brazil). The process is lazy and it took 2 weeks to be finished.

I hope this can help you. If you need some extra information, please add in comments.
