Is Facebook allowed in China? Can tourists use Facebook in mainland China? Facebook is so popular and useful, but it can’t be accessed and used in China. How to access Facebook in China? When I tried to log into the web account, it prompted that “This Website is not available now”. I checked my network connection, and actually everything worked well. But why I can’t access and use Facebook now. I asked some friends in China about this issue, they told me Facebook can’t be used in China due to the net censorship of China. I have to use a VPN tool to bypass the Great Firewall, and then access Facebook successfully. I have not used a VPN tool before, and don’t know where I can get one.

I hope someone could help me with this problem, or it will be very boring if I can’t access these apps Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and WhatsApp. I can’t even contact my other friends in America.
