This eSIM covers three regions in one: mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao. On the mainland it connects to China Unicom and China Telecom, which use one shared 5G network, with strong coverage in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and usually on high-speed trains too. In Hong Kong you connect to csl or SmarTone, and in Macao to CTM, the largest operator there. You get 4G or 5G, depending on what the local network offers. That makes it one eSIM for a trip through the Greater Bay Area, where high-speed trains link Hong Kong with Shenzhen and Guangzhou, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge links Hong Kong with Macao. Networks: China Unicom, China Telecom, csl, SmarTone, CTM.
For a short stopover in Hong Kong, the 1 GB bundle, valid for 7 days, covers messaging and maps. For a one to two week trip with lots of navigation, translation apps and photos, choose 5 to 10 GB, and for longer stays there is the 50 GB bundle, valid for 180 days.
On the mainland the Great Firewall blocks Google, WhatsApp and Instagram on local SIM cards, while Hong Kong and Macao have no such block. A roaming travel eSIM usually routes your traffic abroad, so these apps tend to keep working on the mainland as well, but install a VPN before you leave as a backup.
