A prepaid eSIM for travel in China, ideal for tourists, business trips, study abroad, and short-term stays, with access to the China Mobile network and international routing. APN is CMHK, it can be installed before departure, and lets you get online soon after arrival in mainland China.
Whether you're navigating Beijing's subway on your first visit, video-calling home from a Shanghai hotel, or sharing a hotspot with a colleague during a Shenzhen business trip, this China eSIM keeps you connected to the apps and services you rely on every day. It works across all 31 provinces of mainland China, including major cities like Guangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an, and Hangzhou, as well as rural areas, highways, and high-speed rail routes. Because data is routed internationally through Hong Kong, the connection behaves like an overseas roaming plan, which is why Google Maps, Gmail, WhatsApp, and YouTube work exactly as they do at home, without any VPN configuration.

How to Choose a Plan

10 GB / 10 DaysA solid fit for a quick city break — enough data for navigation, chats, and checking in online.
10 GB / 15 DaysBest if you're spending most evenings on hotel or café Wi-Fi, with a bit of room to spare.
20 GB / 30 DaysSuited for a full month of regular use — Maps running constantly, social apps, and the occasional video call.
50 GB / 30 DaysBuilt for business travelers and power users — hotspot for a laptop, daily streaming, no rationing data.

How Much Data Do You Need?

Navigation & Maps Light usage — roughly 50–150 MB per hour depending on map loading and route updates.
Messages & Email Very light for text only, but sending photos, voice messages, and attachments uses noticeably more data.
Social Media Moderate to heavy — browsing feeds and uploading photos can consume several hundred MB per day.
Video & Streaming Heavy usage — short-form video and HD streams consume data quickly. Choose a larger plan if you watch frequently.
Hotspot Sharing Usage depends on connected devices. Choose a larger plan if sharing with a laptop or other phones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this China eSIM work without a VPN?

Yes, and this is the key difference from a local Chinese SIM. This eSIM routes your data through China Mobile's international gateway in Hong Kong (APN: CMHK). Because your connection is treated as international roaming, it bypasses the Great Firewall entirely. You can use Google, Gmail, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, ChatGPT, and other apps that are normally blocked in China, without installing or paying for a separate VPN.

Can I keep my home SIM and use this China eSIM at the same time?

Yes. This is one of the main advantages of the eSIMKitStore China eSIM. Your phone can hold your regular home SIM for calls and SMS from family, while this eSIM handles all your data in China. Your bank OTP codes and incoming calls still come through your home SIM — extremely useful when you need two-factor authentication while traveling.

How much data do I actually need for a trip to China?

It depends on how you use your phone. As a rough guide: 10GB/10 days — ideal for light use: maps, messaging, occasional Google searches 10GB/30 days — suits moderate travelers who mostly use hotel Wi-Fi 20–30GB/30 days — recommended if you use Google Maps frequently, stream music, or share a hotspot with another device 50GB/30 days — for heavy users, business travelers, or anyone working remotely If you're unsure, start with 20GB for a 2-week trip. Unused data doesn't carry over, but the plan stays active until the validity period ends.

What happens if I use up all my data before my trip ends?

This China travel eSIM plan cannot be topped up once purchased. If you run out of data, you have two options: purchase a new eSIM plan from eSIMKitStore and install it on the same device (possible if your phone supports multiple eSIM profiles), or connect via hotel or café Wi-Fi for the remainder of your trip. To avoid running short, we recommend choosing a plan with at least 20% more data than you expect to use.

How do I choose the right plan?

For short trips or light usage, a smaller plan is enough. If you plan to use social media, video calls, hotspot sharing, or travel for longer, choose a larger plan.

When will I receive my eSIM?

After purchase, eSIM details are sent by email. Please check your inbox and spam folder.

Can I still use WhatsApp?

Yes. Travel eSIMs use mobile data and do not change your WhatsApp number.

How do I check if my phone supports eSIM?

Dial *#06#— if your phone displays an EID number, it likely supports eSIM. You can also check ourcompatible device list.
