China eSIM — uncensored internet, no VPN needed
BellRoam's China travel eSIM routes through international roaming, so you can use Google, Gmail, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube normally without a VPN — bypassing the Great Firewall naturally.
IMPORTANT: install and test your eSIM BEFORE you enter mainland China. Downloading the eSIM profile needs stable internet, so set it up at home and simply switch data on when you arrive.
Why an eSIM instead of a local China SIM?
- Local China SIMs block Western services; a roaming travel eSIM does not.
- No VPN required (and many VPNs are themselves blocked in China).
- Keep your home number; share a hotspot with your laptop.
Coverage
4G/5G in major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, plus tourist spots such as Xi'an, Guilin and Zhangjiajie.
