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

Popular foreign apps and sites (Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.) are blocked in mainland China regardless of network — international travelers who need them should arrange a VPN before arrival or use an eSIM with roaming data that routes outside China's firewall.

Insider tip

Registration usually requires scanning your passport or entering a local phone number for an SMS code — if you don't have a Chinese SIM, ask at an information desk for help, or just rely on your own eSIM data instead.

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 Hangzhou.
