How can I access the internet in Jiangxi?

Tips on VPNs, local SIM cards, and Wi-Fi access for international travelers.

Free Wi-Fi is common in hotels, cafes, and airports, but often requires a Chinese phone number to receive a verification code. Purchasing a local SIM card or using an international roaming plan is recommended.

Due to China's 'Great Firewall', many Western websites and apps (like Google, Facebook, and Instagram) are blocked. You will need a reliable VPN (Virtual Private Network) installed before you arrive if you need to access these services.

Alternatively, an international travel eSIM with a built-in VPN/roaming data can be a convenient way to stay connected without needing a local number.

  • Install a reliable VPN before arriving in China
  • Consider an international travel eSIM for convenience
  • Local SIM cards require passport registration
  • Public Wi-Fi often requires a Chinese phone number
