eSIM for China — 7-day plans 🇨🇳
China mainland 7-day eSIM for travellers covering tourism, short business trips, or transit layovers. Validity is counted from the moment of activation—not from purchase—so you control the start. If your trip extends beyond 7 days, you can purchase an additional eSIM or a longer plan before the current one expires; re-use the same QR or install a new profile as instructed.

FAQ
How is the 7-day validity counted from activation?
The countdown begins the moment you scan the QR code and the eSIM profile is installed and connects to a network. You get a full 168 hours of service from that point.
Can I activate the eSIM before I land in China?
Yes. Install the profile via QR anytime before departure, but data service will only start when you first connect to a supported network in mainland China.
What happens if my trip runs longer than 7 days?
Purchase a new eSIM (or a longer-term plan) before the current one expires. You can install it as an additional profile or replace the old one — check your device settings for dual eSIM support.
Will this eSIM work on Chinese networks that require a passport for registration?
The eSIM complies with local regulations. No additional personal registration is needed from you — the plan is ready to use upon activation.
Can I top up or extend the same 7-day plan?
No. Each 7-day plan is a fixed-term product. To continue service, you must purchase a new eSIM plan — either another 7-day or a longer option from our China mainland selection.
