Traveling in China? With our partnership with China Mobile to offer Wi-Fi roaming services to global mobile carriers, you may get more connected than before.

We put together a Top Ten List and article, “iPass Takes Care of Business in China,” with some of the more popular places to log in. Just a (pearl) drop in the bucket of Wi-Fi hotspots, these will get you started.

Airport:
Beijing Capital International Airport: With 74 million passengers in 2010, Beijing is the second busiest in the world, after Atlanta. The Norman Foster-designed Terminal 3 (pictured), built in the shape of a dragon, is larger than Heathrow’s five terminals combined. Despite its size, it’s also one of the greatest, named by Condé Nast Traveller as the World’s Best Airport in 2009.

Hotel:
Park Hyatt Shanghai: One of three 5-star Hyatts in the City, the Park Hyatt is the newest, opened in 2008, and one of the highest anywhere, occupying floors 79-93 of the Shanghai World Financial Center. The sweeping views overlooking the river are spectacular day or night.

Convention Center:
Beijing International Convention Centre: This popular venue, together with its adjoining 4-star hotel, hosts almost 50 exhibitions a year in a great location right next to the Bird’s Nest Olympic Stadium and Water Cube.
