BLOCKED WEBSITES
Which websites are blocked in China?
Google, most Western news, social media and Wikipedia are blocked behind the Great Firewall in mainland China. This 2026 checklist shows what is blocked, what still works, and how a VPN restores access while you travel.
How long is your trip?
For a short trip, start with Yoho VPN free (1 GB/mo full speed) for maps and chat, and pair an eSIM so you are online the moment you land. 查看價格
For a week or two of daily use, Pro (200 GB/mo, all 30 locations) keeps streaming, AI tools and video calls smooth. Set it up before you fly. 查看價格
For a long stay or work trip, go Pro for full-speed data across all locations, and keep Smart Split on so WeChat, Alipay and maps stay fast and direct. 查看價格

Access depends on your network, carrier and region and can change day to day. This is guidance, not a guarantee. Hong Kong and Macau are not behind the mainland firewall.
