You will have to get your visa's in Hongkong.
You can check out all the information on the website.
www.chinatravel1.com There are different types of visas but the most common for touring China is a single entry tourist visa valid for up to 30 days from issuance, that can be easily obtained through an embassy of the PRC or a CTS office.
1. Apply at the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in your country of residence or approach an Embassy (Consulate) of PRC in a neighboring country.
2. Apply at an overseas CTS branch in your country of residence.
3. If you are first traveling to Hong Kong, you can entrust the visa application at a branch office of China Travel Service (Hong Kong) Limited. The most convenient is located near to the Star Ferry on the Kowloon side because they are open 7 days a week and they can arrange for a visa in just a few hours, if necessary.
The address is at 1/F.,Alpha House,27-33 Nathan Rd., Kowloon, Hong Kong.

I suggest you get a China visitors visa at HK airport. There are plenty of agents there. It takes about an hour and a 3 month costs about $50 us. Multi entry a little more. If not you can get one in HK downtown at any number of agents.Takes about three hours or so. I have an idea that you can get one on the HK side of Shenzhen at the metro station Lo wu, which is the border station, but I am not exactly 100% on that.The train ride from HK to Shenzhen is 36 HK$
If you are just going to transit HK, you can also take a ferry across from the airport to Shenzhen( Shekou.). This way you do not exit thru HK immigration etc. and the ferry co. will collect your baggage and transfer it to the boat. The trip takes half hour, and costs 200 hk$. Much more convenient than the train. You can get a visa when you get to Shenzhen, before going thru customs and immigration. I saw the place a few weeks ago.Cab fare to Shenzhen downtown is around 60 yuan. 1 US $ = 8 yuan or 8 HK $.

in the past you just get it at the border. its good for 7 days i think. and you can not travel out of shenzhen. costs about 100 HK$
if you want to go into china proper u can get ur visa in hong kong just off nathan road south on peiking road. there is an old woman there that will hand you a flyer for a travel agent on the 4th floor. you will need that to get into china. i have also got that same visa at the border but it costs more and sometimes the office is not open.
