From the Great Wall at Mutianyu to xiaolongbao in a Shanghai laneway, China rewards travellers who plan ahead — and with visa-free entry currently on offer for Australians on short stays (check the latest entry requirements before you book), organising a trip is simpler than it has been in years. Eyeing the September school holidays? Good timing: early autumn is Beijing and Xi'an at their best — just plan around Golden Week in early October. Sort your data before you leave, though: China's internet works differently to home, and queuing for a SIM at Pudong after a red-eye is no fun. A prepaid eSIM from $6.05 AUD fixes that before you've packed.

Why an eSIM for China

  • Sorted before you fly — your eSIM arrives instantly by email as a QR code; scan at home, connect on landing.
  • Keep your Australian number — dual SIM keeps your usual SIM active for calls and banking SMS while the eSIM handles data.
  • Prepaid certainty — pay once up front, no roaming bill waiting at home.
  • Stay in control — watch live usage in the ESIMStore app (iPhone and Android) and top up if two weeks becomes three.

How it works

Pick the China plan that suits your trip and check out. Your QR code arrives by email straight away — scan it before you fly (here's exactly how it works). Land in Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou and you're online, on 4G/5G partner networks where available.

Pairing China with a stopover? Grab a Hong Kong & Macau eSIM too, or browse our Asia eSIMs for the wider region. Chasing winter sun instead? Indonesia & Bali hits its dry-season best over the Australian winter. Wherever you land, the ESIMStore app keeps your usage in view.

FAQs

Will my iPhone work with an eSIM in China?

Yes — most iPhones released since 2018 support eSIM, as do recent Samsung and Google phones. It just needs to be unlocked. Scan the emailed QR code before you fly and you're set.

Can I keep my Australian number while I'm in China?

Yes. The eSIM sits alongside your physical SIM, so your number stays active for calls and banking SMS while the eSIM carries your data. Just set mobile data to the eSIM to avoid roaming charges.

What happens if I run out of data in China?

Top-ups are available, so you won't be caught short. The ESIMStore app shows live usage so you'll see it coming, and our Australian-based support team is here if you need a hand.
