Does the EastESIM work during a Yangtze River cruise, China?

Updated April 22, 2026

Coverage during a Yangtze River cruise can be intermittent. You will likely have signal in major cities at the start and end points, such as Chongqing or Yichang, and potentially when passing through larger towns along the river. However, as your cruise ventures into the more secluded areas of the Three Gorges, especially in deep canyons or tunnels, expect the signal to become weak or disappear entirely. This is a chance for a digital detox, though our EastESIM leverages the best available local networks like China Mobile when signal is present.
