WiFi & Connectivity
Stay connected at Haikou Meilan International Airport — free WiFi, eSIM options and local data for China.
Airport WiFi at HAK
Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
Registration here is unusually accessible for a mainland Chinese airport: the SMS verification reportedly works with phone numbers from 200+ countries, and self-service kiosks can also log you in with a passport scan if SMS doesn't cooperate. Sites like Google will still need a VPN, so bring one configured plus a China-compatible eSIM as backup.
Try SMS verification with your own number first — it may just work here, unlike at many other mainland airports.
