eSIM plans in China: what to expect
Datadopt lists more than 6600 eSIM plans in China, sold by 113 different providers. Prices start at $0.48 (€0.43) for a plan of 1 GB or more: that is the cheapest way in to stay connected the moment you land.
The cheapest 5 GB plan valid 30 days costs $2.53 (€2.27), which works out to $0.51/GB (€0.45/GB). Across the 4595 fixed-volume plans we track in China, the median price per GB is $1.50/GB (€1.34/GB). For reference, the worldwide average price of 1 GB of mobile data is $2.59/GB.
For a short stay, a few gigabytes valid 7 days are usually enough. For a longer trip, aim for 5 to 10 GB over 30 days, or consider an unlimited plan or a daily-quota plan: in that case compare the price per day rather than the total price.
