China eSIM details
TouriESIM's China eSIM (with TikTok) gives you smooth, high-speed Internet across all of mainland China through China Mobile, the country's leading carrier. NO MORE WORRYING about blocked access to your favorite social media platforms – including TikTok.
This is one of the two eSIM products TouriESIM offers specifically for travelers to China. The difference between them:
- The China eSIM with TikTok provides Internet access across all of China + unlimited data.
- The China eSIM without TikTok.
With TouriESIM's China eSIM (TikTok), you can travel around China without worrying about losing contact or Internet access at any point during your trip.
Outstanding features of the China travel eSIM (TikTok):
- No VPN needed – the eSIM has built-in access past the Great Firewall.
- Access TikTok, Facebook, Google, YouTube and your other favorite social networks.
- No need to swap physical SIMs, so there is no risk of losing your home SIM after the trip.
- A wide choice of plans to suit different trip lengths and data needs.
- Activates automatically when you arrive in China – just turn on the eSIM to get online instantly.
2 key things to check before buying an eSIM for China:
- Your phone is carrier-unlocked.
- Your phone supports eSIM (use the Check compatibility tool above to check).
Before you buy a China eSIM:
- Unlimited plan: includes 1GB of high-speed (5G/4G/LTE) data per day. Once the high-speed data is used up, the speed drops to 5 Mbps, and it resets automatically the next day.
- Daily data plan: your high-speed data allowance is renewed every day according to your plan, starting at 00:00.
- How days are counted: each day of use is based on Beijing time (GMT+8) and ends at 23:59 on the same day.
- The eSIM QR code is sent by email, so please enter your email address correctly.
- The validity period starts when the eSIM is installed on your device.
- TouriESIM recommends buying at least one extra day to avoid running out of days due to time-zone differences between countries.
- You do not need to provide ID documents to buy a China eSIM.
How to check whether your phone supports eSIM
There are 2 ways to check whether your phone supports eSIM:
Option 1. Use the compatibility checker above.
Option 2. Check directly in your phone's Settings.
- iPhone: Go to Settings > Cellular – if you see “Add eSIM”, your phone supports eSIM.
- Samsung: Go to Settings > Connections > SIM manager and look for “Add Cellular Plan” / “Add eSIM”.
- Google Pixel: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > tap “+” > select “Connect to mobile network” and look for “Download a SIM instead” to confirm.
Which China eSIM (with TikTok) plan should you choose?
TouriESIM offers 3 plan types based on data: unlimited data, daily data and total data.
A few tips to help you choose a plan that fits your needs and saves you money:
- If you use a lot of Internet every day (watching videos, online meetings, remote work): choose an Unlimited plan to enjoy high-speed data, with a continuous connection at a reduced speed (5 Mbps) once the high-speed data limit is reached.
- If you use a moderate amount every day (browsing, social media, email): choose a Daily data plan so you get fresh high-speed data every day. Daily data resets every day during the validity period.
- If you use little data or only occasionally (messaging, checking maps, looking things up): choose a Total data plan.

Is your phone eSIM compatible?
Most new phones support eSIM, and setup takes just 90 seconds.
Compatible devices: If your phone was made in 2019 or later, it most likely supports eSIM. The usual exceptions are budget models and some phones sold in certain Asian markets.
Carrier-locked phones: Most phones today are international versions that can easily switch to a new network. The exception is phones bought on a carrier contract — you can ask your carrier to unlock yours before you travel.
Using two SIMs at once: With a dual-SIM phone, you use the travel eSIM for data and keep your main SIM for calls and texts on your usual number. No need to remove your SIM, and you won't miss messages from home.
Coverage in China
From Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu to the quieter corners of China, staying connected makes every trip easier — check maps, book rides, translate, pay by phone and share moments instantly. The TouriESIM China eSIM installs in about 90 seconds and connects automatically when you land, so there's no queuing for a SIM card at the airport. Buy before you fly, top up anytime, and keep the eSIM to reuse on your next trip.
Will my phone work with a China eSIM?
Most eSIM-compatible phones bought after 2020 work in China, as long as they aren't carrier-locked. That includes iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and many other models.
Not sure if your phone supports eSIM? Use our eSIM compatibility checker — it also shows you how to check whether your phone is carrier-locked.
eSIM-compatible phones usually support dual SIM: keep your main SIM for calls and texts, and use the TouriESIM eSIM for data.
How to install a China eSIM
Installing your China eSIM takes less than three minutes from the moment you buy your data plan.
- Open the email from TouriESIM with the QR code for your China eSIM
- On your phone, go to Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (iPhone) or Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM (Android), then scan the QR code
- Installation usually takes about 60 seconds
- Ready to go? Open your cellular settings, turn on the eSIM and enable “data roaming” for it.
- Set the China eSIM as your cellular data line, and you'll connect to China Unicom as soon as you arrive in China.
How much data do I need in China?
In China, reliable data keeps you connected without hunting for Wi-Fi. Prepaid eSIM data plans come in plenty of sizes, from 1 GB to unlimited.
Not sure how much you need? No problem! Start with a smaller plan and buy more when you need it.
Need help choosing a plan? Contact our support team for a recommendation that fits your trip.
Will I pay roaming fees with a China eSIM?
You won't pay a cent in roaming fees!
Install your China eSIM while you have a stable internet connection (at home or after you arrive), then activate your prepaid data plan when you get to China.
To avoid roaming charges on your main SIM, remember to turn off data roaming on your main SIM so your carrier doesn't add extra charges to your bill.
China eSIM FAQs

Yes. TouriESIM works in China on local carrier networks, and most phones bought after 2020 support eSIM as long as they aren't carrier-locked.
The best eSIM depends on how much data you need, but TouriESIM is a strong choice thanks to low prices, 90-second setup, unlimited plans and 24/7 support.
Before your trip, scan the QR code TouriESIM emails you to install the eSIM. When you arrive in China, turn on the eSIM and data roaming, and it will connect to China Unicom automatically.
Yes. TouriESIM works with dual-SIM phones: keep your main SIM for calls and texts, and use your China eSIM for data.
Install the eSIM from the QR code in your email while you're still at home. When you arrive in China, turn on the eSIM and enable data roaming for it, and your phone will connect to China Unicom automatically. Your plan starts counting days once it connects.
For most travelers, an eSIM is more convenient: there's no extra device to carry, charge, pick up or return. Pocket Wi-Fi only makes sense when a whole group needs to share one connection.
