Your housing in China may or may not have Internet access. Before you go, check whether your dorm or apartment has an Internet connection, and whether you can use your Chinese university's public computers at night and on the weekend. Cafés are an option for getting access whenever you can't get it through the university. Although they charge for the use of their computers , and connection speeds may vary from place to place, cafes are more likely to be open in the evenings and on weekends. Most Chinese guidebooks include locations and pricing information for local internet cafés, but you can also find them through the
The Cybercafé Search Engine.
