Taobao purchase: Buy the eSIM through Taobao.
A regional eSIM is often more convenient when one itinerary includes mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. Instead of changing plans at each border, travelers can use one compatible data package across the listed coverage areas.
Who is this plan for?
- Travelers flying into Hong Kong before entering Shenzhen or Guangzhou;
- Business visitors attending meetings across the Greater Bay Area;
- Tourists combining Hong Kong, Macau and mainland cities;
- Overseas Chinese visiting family in several regions;
- Buyers visiting exhibitions, suppliers and factories.
Choose this instead of a China-only plan when
Your itinerary includes at least one stop in Hong Kong or Macau. For a trip entirely within mainland China, the China-only product is normally more direct.
How much data should you choose?
5GB: short visits and essential travel apps.
10GB: regular maps, messages, calls and photo sharing.
20GB: multi-city business travel, hotspot use or frequent video uploads.
