- Chengdu/Hangzhou/Wuhan: The main urban areas adopt a hybrid 4G/5G coverage model, with priority deployment of 5G+ networks in transportation hubs.
- Tianjin/Suzhou: Continuous coverage achieved in central urban areas, with suburban regions switching to enhanced 4G networks.
Tourist attractions and suburbs
• The coverage is primarily based on 4G, with the entrances of popular tourist attractions upgraded to 5G networks.
- The Great Wall (Beijing Section) and Shanghai Bund: The viewing platform areas have achieved 5G coverage, while signal fluctuations may occur in the cable car areas.

Network Usage Tips
remote mountainous/highland areas
The Qinghai-Tibet Highway and Daocheng Yading (elevation above 3,000 meters) may have cellular dead zones; it is recommended to download offline maps in advance.
high-density indoor venues
In the basements of large shopping malls or elevators of super high-rise buildings (such as Shanghai Tower), the network may degrade to a 3G signal.
Cross-border network usage
Cross-border eSIM is not restricted by China's firewall, allowing normal access to services such as Google, WhatsApp, and YouTube; however, it cannot provide services like OpenAI that are unavailable in Hong Kong and mainland China.
cost-performance ratio of pricing
The pricing of China's eSIM plans is generally on par with physical SIM cards (e.g., China Mobile's 5 USD/10GB plan), offering high cost-effectiveness in the Asian region along with excellent signal coverage.
