From what I can tell, the issue with Wireguard is that the traffic is quite obvious. Other options might be blocked, but technically harder to implement said blocks.
Comment on Means to privately connect to my home server other than Tailscale?

Wow. Do they block VPNs inside your country too?
Anyway, there’s openvpn and there’s nebula (I think nebula doesn’t use wireguard… do double-check), or you look into things built specifically to hide traffic (keyword: “vpn obfuscation”).
No idea if VPN protocols other than wireguard may be blocked too (probably?).
No idea if trying too hard to circumvent government policies may get you added to some list you’d rather not be in.

Wireguard is effectively blocked in China, from my experience so far.

China uses deep packet inspection so that makes sense
I think the the great Firewall is less restrictive with QUIC traffic. It might be worth trying fragmented QUIC as from what I’ve read the GFW struggles to reconstruct the traffic

I use two services that do work and alternate between them: Mullvad with Obfuscation turned on, and Ghelper paired with Shadowrocket (China side ones used by Chinese devs)
