    So back in Beijing again for business. Although access to Google and NY Times blocked, I was pleased to see that I could get to pinside without any difficulty. Any folks here know of any locations to play in Beijing? Discovered a few really nice locations in Tokyo by reaching out here, so thought I'd see if anyone knows of the current status of pinball in China.

    They setup the importing the end of last year. I think they’d have some on location by now.

    You’ll see two, one for China importing and one for HK. Maybe they’d know?

    I'd be interested in seeing what the place looks like. It would be interesting to compare it to American barcades.

    I just googled pinball liquors, and the first article said that they have new machines like walking dead and Harry Potter. Interesting......HP must have been the quietest release of all time...... Link and screenshot below

    Someone may have mistaken GOT for Harry Potter.

    Not sure why this is in the "off-topic" sub-forum. It clearly belongs in the "Locations" sub-forum so that other explorers can build up the info over time.

    Thank you for the info from Google as no access here, and not too familiar with how best to navigate through Baidu. Still find it interesting that pinside is allowed but no NY times or Google...

    Use a VPN tunnel. ProtonVPN is another free service and works great.
