A 15-day trip to China usually involves more than one city, so mobile data should be prepared before departure. You may need maps, DiDi, hotel confirmations, train tickets, translation, email and messaging every day.
How much data is enough?
Light users who mainly use maps, messages and email may need less data. Travelers who upload photos, watch video, join meetings or share hotspot with a laptop should choose a larger plan.
Mainland China only
For Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Xi'an, Hangzhou and other mainland cities, choose a mainland China plan.
China, Hong Kong and Macau
If the route includes Hong Kong or Macau, use a multi-region plan to avoid buying again.

Before buying
