China eSIM FAQs
Your China eSIM will start working the moment you land in China—it auto-activates if installed prior to departure.
If you install it after arrival, it will connect immediately.
Trouble connecting? Visit our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us for help.
Definitely. In the ZenSim app, log in, and you’ll find top-up options on the main screen below your plan details.
Pick the extension that suits you — whether you need more days or more data, and complete the purchase to keep roaming freely.
No, our China travel eSIMs do not include any phone number - they strictly provide internet data. For calls, use data - driven apps such as WhatsApp, Signal, or Facetime.
Nope — the eSIM waits for you to land in China before beginning data usage or counting plan days, unless of course you're already in China then yes it will start using data immediately.
We advise installing before departure over WiFi so you can be connected as soon as you land on the tarmac.
For any connection hiccups, check out our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or get in touch.
Not exactly. Once your China eSIM is active, it’s tied to that country.
If you're visiting more than one place, our regional Travel eSIMs offer broader coverage so you can roam freely across multiple destinations.
No, the China travel eSIM is data - only. It won’t give you a cellular voice line. If you want to call, just fire up WhatsApp, Telegram, or FaceTime using your data allowance.
Signal & Connectivity: If you’re stuck without data, follow our detailed troubleshooting guide. If issues persist, contact support and we’ll fix it promptly.
Install Assistance: For help installing, consult our installation walkthrough. Still need help? Reach out and we’ll guide you step by step.
Other Support Requests: For anything else, head to our contact page.
Absolutely! ZenSim’s eSIMs work in over 200 countries, and China is one of them. We also have regional eSIMs that cover several nations on a single plan - check out our Travel eSIMs page for details.
Good question! Opting for a travel eSIM instead of roaming in China offers clear advantages:
Lower Costs: Say goodbye to outrageous roaming bills by switching to a local travel package designed for China.
Seamless Switching: Change between data plans without fumbling with physical SIM cards - perfect for spontaneous travellers.
Budget Control: Track data usage in real time and avoid surprise charges or overages.
Your eSIM will activate automatically when you arrive in China. Though we recommend installing your China Travel eSIM before you arrive (this is different to activating).
To do this, scan the QR code we provide or install the eSIM directly from the ZenSim app while connected to WiFi. Once you arrive in China, your eSIM will activate automatically.
If you encounter any issues check out our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us directly ☺️
Yes! Your China eSIM can be installed as early as 30 days before you travel. It won’t start until you touch down in China.
Installing beforehand means no setup stress on arrival, and it won’t use any data or days until you land.
If you get an activation warning on iPhone when installing before arriving, that’s normal — check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for details.

Top 3 Things to Do in China
1. Walk the Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, stretching over 21,000 kilometres. Popular sections like Mutianyu and Badaling near Beijing offer restored pathways and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Whether you’re hiking the wild, untamed sections or visiting the well-preserved areas, the Great Wall is a testament to ancient engineering and a must-visit destination for travellers to China.
2. Explore the Terracotta Army, Xi’an
The Terracotta Army in Xi’an is a breathtaking archaeological discovery that dates back to 210 BCE. This vast collection of life-sized clay soldiers, horses, and chariots was built to accompany China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, into the afterlife. Visitors can marvel at the intricate details of each figure and learn about their historical significance at the museum. It’s a unique glimpse into China’s rich history and culture.
3. Discover Shanghai’s Modern Skyline
Shanghai is a city where tradition meets innovation. The iconic Pudong skyline, featuring landmarks like the Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Tower, is a symbol of China’s modern development. Take a stroll along the historic Bund for stunning views of the city’s architectural contrasts. Shanghai’s vibrant markets, world-class restaurants, and cultural attractions make it an unmissable destination.
