Why one eSIM for China, Japan & South Korea?

This is the classic East Asia grand tour: the great cities of mainland China — Beijing and Shanghai — paired with Tokyo and Seoul. It's a big, three-country loop that mixes the Forbidden City and the Bund with Japanese food and pop culture and Korea's K-culture and shopping. Doing all three in one trip is common, and it means crossing three borders where SIM cards, carriers, and pricing all work differently.

One eSIM-Now plan spans all three countries, so you install it once before you leave and stay connected from Beijing to Tokyo to Seoul without swapping SIMs or triggering roaming charges. The China leg is where this really pays off: our China coverage routes your internet traffic out through Hong Kong, so mainstream apps like Google, WhatsApp, and Instagram work normally in mainland China — without needing a VPN. That's the single biggest headache most travelers hit in China, and it's handled for you the moment you land.

How much data do you need?

  • Light use (messaging, maps, email): 1-3GB for a 1-2 week trip
  • Moderate use (social media, photos, light browsing): 5GB for a 1-2 week trip
  • Heavy use (video calls, streaming, remote work): 10GB+ for a 1-2 week trip

You'll rely heavily on maps and translation across all three countries, and staying on your usual apps in China adds up too — so pick a larger plan if you'll be online most of the day.
