I had the same situation, my hotel used fortinet and they blocked almost everything
Even VPNs that used to work in China were blocked
I used my phone 4g hotspot to initialize the tailscale connection, which was blocked, I chose my server as an exit point, then I switched back to the WiFi. Amazingly, once logged in to tailscale, it kept connected to my server.
Then for added safety I used my kasm install to stream a Firefox browser running on my server
I don't really understand this, why would a hotel pay thousands and thousands of euro for a "Chinese internet experience" that is going to piss off every single customer
