Applying for a Chinese visa in Australia for travel to Tibet

Hi,
I plan on applying for Chinese Visa without mentioning trip to Tibet (but have in and out flights from China).
As I heard the embassy could be quite annoying, do I have to prepare a detailed itinerary of where I'm going in China?

Besides, if I already have everything prepared and i'm doing the while trip with a travel agency (even Tibet part) and I can show them exactly what I'll be doing, is it okay to mention that I'm going to Tibet ? Or will that anyway lower my chances of getting the visa?

Cheers,
Aurelie

Do not mention Tibet, even if you have it arranged by an agency. It would be wise to provide an itinerary for your time in China, with hotel bookings and flights in and out. But this does need to be a real itinerary - it is just something the visa office needs to see before issuing the visa.
