Stay connected at Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport — free WiFi, eSIM options and local data for China.
Airport WiFi at SJW
Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
A mainland China eSIM or local SIM is genuinely useful here, since free wifi registration commonly requires a Chinese phone number for SMS verification that many foreign visitors can't complete.
As with most Chinese airports, plan on a VPN for Western apps/sites and don't rely solely on terminal wifi — arrive with data access already set up if you need it.
