China. High-speed Internet from €0.82 per GB throughout the country and in Hainan
21 July 2026

China is a country where one trip can feel like several completely different journeys. Start in imperial Beijing, continue through dynamic Shanghai, explore high-tech Shenzhen, taste authentic Sichuan cuisine in Chengdu and then relax on the tropical island of Hainan. To use maps, translation tools, transport apps, messengers and online services while traveling, install a China travel eSIM from Telwel before you leave.
We have updated our China plans to make the choice more flexible. You can now select packages from 1 to 100 GB, valid from 3 days to 6 months. This makes it easy to find a suitable eSIM for a short stopover, sightseeing trip, Hainan holiday, business visit, study program or extended stay in China. Prices start at €0.82 per GB.
Telwel eSIM provides mobile internet for popular cities, tourist regions and Hainan. Use it to find your way to the Forbidden City or the Great Wall, order a taxi in Shanghai, locate a restaurant in Guangzhou, check a high-speed train schedule or translate a menu in a small local café.
China is impressive because of its scale and variety. In Beijing, visit the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and sections of the Great Wall. Shanghai combines the futuristic skyline of Pudong with the historic Bund and atmospheric old neighborhoods. Xi’an is home to the famous Terracotta Army, Chengdu offers giant pandas and bold Sichuan cuisine, while Zhangjiajie is known for dramatic rock formations and landscapes that look almost unreal.
For a relaxing seaside holiday, choose Hainan. The beaches of Sanya, tropical scenery, warm water, resort facilities and local excursions make the island suitable for both short breaks and longer stays. Mobile internet is just as useful in Hainan as on the mainland — for navigation, bookings, translation, hotel communication and sharing travel photos.
China is also easy to explore by rail. Modern high-speed trains connect major cities and make it possible to create an ambitious itinerary without relying on domestic flights. During a single trip, you can visit several regions, while a Telwel eSIM helps you stay connected when checking tickets, finding platforms, navigating transfers or contacting local hosts.
A China eSIM is not only useful for tourists. Telwel is also suitable for business travel, meetings, exhibitions, conferences, education, medical visits and long-term stays. Keep your primary SIM card for calls and use the eSIM for mobile data, without having to search for a physical SIM card after arrival.
Before traveling, make sure that your smartphone supports eSIM technology and is unlocked. Install the eSIM profile in advance using a QR code while connected to reliable Wi-Fi. Once you arrive, select Telwel as your mobile data line and follow the activation instructions.
