Does it work in the water towns like Wuzhen?

Yes. The same national plan covers Zhejiang's canal towns, so Wuzhen, Xitang and Nanxun all have solid 4G for maps, boat bookings and mobile payments among the waterways.

Will I have signal on Putuoshan Island?

Putuoshan is well covered on the national network for a Buddhist island, though remote temple paths and the ferry crossings can drop out - save an offline map before you sail over.

Good to know in Zhejiang

Hangzhou is Alipay's home city and almost aggressively cashless - link a card to Alipay or WeChat Pay before you arrive, because your live data connection is what powers every QR-code payment and metro tap.

Best time to visit Zhejiang

Spring and autumn are loveliest - March-May for blossom around West Lake, and October-November for crisp air and tea-terrace colour.

Two simple ways to buy

Zhejiang eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Zhejiang eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Zhejiang — 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 Zhejiang?

A rough, honest guide to sizing your Zhejiang eSIM so you're not guessing. Most travellers in Zhejiang are comfortable on 3–5 GB a week — heavy streamers just go Unlimited.

Zhejiang eSIM: your local data guide.

Zhejiang blends the poetry of Hangzhou's West Lake with the lantern-lit canals of Wuzhen and the Buddhist island of Putuoshan. You'll lean on data to rent a bike round the lake, decode a Longjing tea menu or catch a ferry timetable. A Zhejiang eSIM keeps maps and payments seamless from the moment you touch down at Xiaoshan.

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

Across the region

Where you'll lean on data in Zhejiang.

West Lake, Hangzhou

Fast 5G right round the lakeside for bike-share, photos and hopping between the causeways and pagodas.

Wuzhen Water Town

Strong 4G among the canals for booking night boat rides and navigating the maze of bridges.

Putuoshan Island

Data holds across this Buddhist island; keep offline maps for the quieter temple trails and ferries.

Mount Mogan (Moganshan)

Signal is decent at the hilltop villas but can dip on the bamboo-forest hiking paths.

The practical bit

Getting around Zhejiang on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Zhejiang

DiDi— Reliable ride-hailing across Hangzhou, Ningbo and Shaoxing.
Amap (Gaode Maps)— Best for ferry times to Putuoshan and navigating the canal-town lanes.
Hangzhou Metro— Ride-code entry and route planning for Hangzhou's fast-growing subway.
Alipay— Born in Hangzhou - the go-to for QR payments, transit tickets and translation.

How long to stay in Zhejiang

Three to four days suit Zhejiang - a couple around Hangzhou's West Lake, plus a canal town like Wuzhen and perhaps a ferry over to Putuoshan.

How much data for Zhejiang

A balanced 3-5 GB plan handles Zhejiang's maps, QR payments and messaging comfortably; step up to Unlimited only if you'll stream or tether a laptop while travelling.

Coverage in Zhejiang

Zhejiang is one of China's best-connected provinces, with fast 5G across Hangzhou, Ningbo and the canal towns; only remote temple trails on Putuoshan and Moganshan's forest paths see it thin.
