How to book, what ID to bring, and when results arrive
IELTS: For British Council IELTS, register and pay on the NEEA site, ielts.neea.cn. For IDP China, book through idpielts.cn, which shows dates after you log in. The venue address comes in your confirmation. Results for IELTS on computer usually arrive within 1 to 5 days.
PTE: create a myPTE account with details that exactly match your ID, choose the test, then a centre and a slot (Pearson's booking guide). Pearson's ID policy asks for a valid passport. Mainland China is not on its exceptions list, so a resident identity card will not do. Pearson sends PTE scores typically within 48 hours (PTE scoring).
Before you pay, take a free IELTS mock test to check you are ready.
