Mainland China travel eSIM comparison
China is the special case: mainland networks sit behind the Great Firewall, so Google, WhatsApp, Instagram and Gmail simply stop working on a locally-issued SIM. Hong Kong-issued plans and eSIMs that include mainland data route traffic back through Hong Kong, keeping your usual apps working — which is exactly what this page ranks.
Cheapest right now: Airalo CN · 1GB · 3 days at HK$31.79 per month.

FAQs
Will WhatsApp and Google work with these plans?
Yes — because they are Hong Kong-issued plans. Their mainland-leg data tunnels through Hong Kong before reaching the internet, outside the Great Firewall. A SIM bought inside the mainland would block those apps without a VPN.
Do these plans cover Macau too?
Many do — the comparison table shows each plan's included destinations. GBA-oriented plans typically bundle Hong Kong + Macau + selected mainland cities; pure "China data" add-ons may be mainland-only, so read the row carefully.
