Is there coverage at the Longji rice terraces?

The main terrace villages of Ping'an and Dazhai have workable 4G for maps and payments, though the higher viewpoint trails can lose signal - download an offline map before you climb.

Will Google Maps work in Guangxi?

Often yes - many China travel eSIMs route traffic internationally so blocked apps work without a VPN, but it varies. Install a VPN before arriving and save offline maps for the rural karst country.

Good to know in Guangxi

On a Li River cruise between Guilin and Yangshuo, your signal will come and go as you pass through the karst gorges, so download an offline map and screenshot your cruise or pickup details before boarding.

Best time to visit Guangxi

April to October suits Guangxi, with the rice terraces greenest in summer and golden by September-October; spring can be misty over the karst.

Two simple ways to buy

Guangxi eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Guangxi eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Guangxi — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

How much data do you need in Guangxi?

Guangxi eSIM: your local data guide.

Guangxi is China at its most scenic - the karst pinnacles of Yangshuo, the Li River drifting past Guilin, and the Longji rice terraces stacked up the hillsides. Data helps you book a river cruise, cycle the countryside or translate a Zhuang village menu. A Guangxi eSIM keeps maps and payments handy from Guilin's centre to the terraces.

One eSIM for Guangxi and all of China. It's the national China eSIM — from $2.59/day with unlimited data, working the same in Guangxi as it does the moment you leave it.

Across the region

Where you'll lean on data in Guangxi.

Yangshuo & the Li River

Good 4G in Yangshuo town for cruise and cycling bookings; expect it to fade mid-river between the karst peaks.

Longji Rice Terraces (Longsheng)

Signal reaches the main terrace villages but thins on the higher viewpoint trails, so save offline maps.

Detian Waterfall

Coverage is patchy this far out on the Vietnam border - download directions before leaving Nanning.

Weizhou Island (Beihai)

Data works around the main village and ferry pier but can drop on the quieter volcanic coastline.

The practical bit

Getting around Guangxi on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Guangxi

DiDi— Ride-hailing in Guilin, Nanning and out to Yangshuo.
Amap (Gaode Maps)— Best for rural karst roads, terrace villages and river-town navigation.
Trip.com (Ctrip)— Book Li River cruises, trains and buses across Guangxi.
Alipay— QR payments and translation in towns, guesthouses and markets.

How long to stay in Guangxi

Three to five days covers Guangxi's essentials - Guilin, a Li River cruise and time cycling around Yangshuo, plus an optional trip to the Longji terraces.

How much data for Guangxi

A balanced 3-5 GB plan handles Guangxi's maps, cruise bookings and payments; go Unlimited if you'll hotspot or stream, though rural karst areas may limit speeds regardless.

Coverage in Guangxi

Guilin, Nanning and Yangshuo town have good 4G and 5G, but Guangxi's scenery means real gaps - mid-river on the Li, on the higher Longji trails, and out at Detian on the Vietnam border.

Guangxi eSIM questions, answered.
