China mainland eSIM plans at a glance
Wanderly lists 56 fixed-data China mainland plans, ranging from 1GB up to 50GB over 7 to 365 days. Prices start at $1.99, and the lowest cost per gigabyte is $0.68/GB on the 50GB 30-day plan.
Unlimited day-passes are also available from $1.99 per day, billed per day rather than per gigabyte. All 75 China mainland plans can be topped up without reinstalling the eSIM.
Every plan is data-only and installs from a QR code, so your home number stays active on its own line. Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in China mainland, not at purchase, which means you can install before you fly.
