Average

Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.

Mainland China's internet restrictions block Google, WhatsApp, and most Western apps/VPNs — arrive with an international eSIM or a working VPN already configured if you need those services.

Insider tip

SMS verification for Wi-Fi registration can be unreliable for foreign phone numbers — ask airport staff for help if the self-service portal doesn't accept your number.

WiFi network names and session limits change frequently. Verify current details at the airport information desk or official website.

eSIM for China

Skip the SIM card queue. Activate a data plan before you land and connect the moment you arrive in Hohhot.
