I googled this for you. How to get around China's great firewall:
1. Cached pages Many search engines provide copies of webpages, known as cached pages, of the original pages they index. When searching for a website, look for a small link labelled "cached" next to your search results. Since you are retrieving a cop of the blocked page from the search engine's servers, and not from the blocked website itself, you may be able to access the censored content. However, some countries have targetted caching services for blocking.
2. Translation services There are many translation services available on the Internet, often provided by search engines. If you access a webpage through the translation service, it is the translation service that is accessing the blocked site. This allows you to read the censored content without directly connecting to the blocked website.
Example: babelfish.yahoo.com
3. RSS aggregators RSS aggregators are websites that allow you to bookmark and read your favourite RSS feeds. RSS aggregator sites will connect to the blocked websites and donwoad the RSS feed and make it available to you. Since it is the aggregator connecting to the website, not you, you will be able to access the censored content.
Example: www.bloglines.com
4. Alternate Domain Names One of the most common ways to censor a website is to block access to its domain name, e.g. news.bbc.co.uk. However, sites are often accessible at other domain names such as newsrss.bbc.co.uk. Therefore if one name is blocked try to see if the content can be accessed at another domain.
5. Web accelerators Web accelerators cache web pages and make it appear as if your Internet connection is faster. Since you are retrieving the website from the cache and not from the blocked website directly, you can access censored content.
Example: webaccelerator.google.com
