This is moving into the dedicated SIM card thread, but it will depend on which VPN you're using. I tried the free one that came with my anti-virus software and it didn't work, and neither at all but one of the hotels I stayed at.
I just had to cope with it; very annoying for Android phone users as it severely handicaps the performance of a surprising number of things (although WhatsApp partially worked). But on the plus side, it wasn't expensive, something like 200 or 250 CNY for 2 weeks validity and plenty of fast data.
