Internet Access in China

You will need a VPN app in China if you wish to access popular services like Google, Gmail, Instagram, WhatsApp, or Facebook.

Since most VPN websites are blocked within China, it's best to download and set up your VPN before your trip.

We recommend LetsVPN for tourists because it's the most reliable and affordable VPN we've tested over the years. A big plus is that you can install LetsVPN even after arriving in China using their mirror site below (the main site is inaccessible within China):

This site will guide you through installing the app and purchasing a plan if necessary (which we highly recommend because their paid service is more reliable).

LetsVPN provides significantly more stable connectivity compared to many popular VPNs found in the App Stores, as these are constantly targeted and blocked by Chinese internet providers.
