Should be possible. I thought extensions are usually for the same duration of the original visa.
Cheers!

thanks, no one can give me a definate answer, has any one here or know of anyone getting an extension on a 90 day tourist visa in china? As If this is the case I will go ahead and get the 90 day visa instead of travelling to hong kong a trying my luck in hong kong. thanks

extension on a 90 day-er will be cool. often for another 90 days so long as you are convincingly excited about seeing more of the great middle kingdom.
you may be asked for exactly how many days you want, so be specific, and have an itinerary of some sort ready as 'evidence'.
tertiary towns (ie not capitals or the next big place) seem the best bet.
