Airport WiFi at NKG
Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
As with most mainland airports, expect to need an SMS code sent to a mobile number to register — a China-compatible eSIM (and a VPN set up before arrival) makes this much easier for foreign travelers.
If you can't complete SMS verification, airport staff at the information desk can often help.
