to travel to china from us , do i need a visa?

Yes you do. Go to the Chinese Embassy.

Yep. You can get one at any travel office! Enjoy your time here when you come. It is a beautiful country!

Yes, in all cases, you need a visa (except for Hainan). You apply not from the embassy but from the Chinese consulate.

Depends on where in China. If you are going to Hong Kong or Shanghai and maybe Macao, you will not. The are designated Special Economic Zones. If you are going to places in Mainland China, you will need a visa, it takes a couple days if you near a consulate or maybe 2 weeks if you have to mail your passport. Below is the link to the Embassy of China and the locations of their consulates in the United States. If you search further through the websites you can find the Visa procedure.
