There is a 6-month and another one-year multiple visa. The fees are tripled. Usually if your passport has a few single-entry visa stamps, they can give you a multiple entry visa (if you have never been in China before, you will least likely be given a multiple entry visa).
The one I just recently received in HKG was for two entries and cost me around $100 CDN including photos and delivery to my hotel.
