Airport WiFi at HET
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.
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.
