SanYa - able to access Gmail but not VPN
Xi'an - not able to access either VPN or Gmail
Beijing - not able to access either VPN or Gmail
Tianjin - not able to access either VPN or Gmail

Of course, with 3 days of Blackberry outages thrown in for good measure my voice roaming charges will not be pleasant this month.

Think you need to change your VPN.
I also had occasional problems like yours connecting to my VPN so I contacted them, they gave me a workaround which works.
