In cities the signal is consistently strong (Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Xi’an, and more). You can also stay online along scenic routes, whether it’s by the lakes and waterfalls of Jiuzhaigou Valley (Sichuan), among the karst mountains and rivers of Guilin & Li River, or even at many spots on the historic Mount Tai (Shandong), famous for its temples.
