The Tourist Hotel is well maintained and is in a good location in the city of Zhuhai. It’s across the street from a new shopping complex that contains several western food outlets. And it is three blocks or so from the bay. The rooms are standard but I found it to be of good value.

I just wanted to provide everyone with an update on the Great Chinese Firewall. It’s been about two years since I’ve last spent any significant time in mainland China, and in the time since it seems that China has gotten immeasurably better at enforcing its draconian internet restrictions. While before one could easily bypass the firewall using any number of free proxy services, China has taken steps to block these sites at a heightened pace.
So for those of you planning on visiting China and wishing to have unfiltered access to the internet (I needs me my Facebook), I suggest you download a proxy program before your arrival in China.
A great hotel in the heart of Wan Chai. The rooms are clean and well sized for Hong Kong standards. The lobby is very nice and so is the pool. Located right on Lockhart Road, the location is great for those looking to enjoy the nightlife of Wan Chai.

I recently stayed at this hotel when I was connecting through Beijing. I chose the hotel as it was close to the airport however I have mixed feelings towards the result. The hotel was in a hard to find location, my taxi driver had a difficult time finding the place even though I had it written in Chinese and called the hotel for him to talk to. The neighborhood the hotel is in can be described at best as ’shady’, I would not recommend walking anywhere around the hotel.
However the rooms were very modern and clean. And the hotel offered a free shuttle bus to the airport. When all is taken into account, it’s a mixed bag.
