I'm not 100% sure (I wasn't involved in this specific project), but I believe you will be blocked from accessing Evernote and be prompted to use https://www.yinxiang.com/, which was spun off from Evernote and is basically the same product, but serves China users.

Thanks! I did not find an "English option" on https://www.yinxiang.com/. Am I blind or is there no option to change to English?

Depends on many factors, like the performance and load of the VPN network you trust your data to.

Plus the Chinese government does not like things out of their control, so they tend to make life difficult for VPN services. This is true for publicly available VPNs, the more in times of unrest like in HK at the moment. 

They try to block the IPs of entry servers etc. So it is maybe a good idea to have more than one service available, and even install your own VPN solution using an own VPN server. This will reduce the likelihood that the target IP will be identified as hostile and blocked. 

Most companies doing business in China rely on their own VPN solution, and these dedicated VPN services are typically not affected, because they are politically neutral.

Thanks for the reply -- I asked "without a VPN" because I no not want to have trouble. From the other, also helpful, replies, I gather, that evernote is apparently (sadly) not a solution for me in China.

• I live in Germany at the moment and use Evernote on an Android tablet.
• I plan to move to China (near Shanghai) and I am wondering if I can use Evernote as usual (without a VPN)?
