WiFi & Connectivity
Stay connected at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport — free WiFi, eSIM options and local data for China.
Airport WiFi at XMN
Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
Mainland China's internet restrictions block Google, WhatsApp, most Western social media, and many VPNs — arrive with an international eSIM (routed outside China) or a pre-configured VPN if you need those apps.
Wi-Fi registration typically needs an SMS verification code — a foreign number usually works, but if it fails, the information desk can help since the portal is mostly in Chinese.
