Yes, you can activate your eSIM shortly after landing at Shanghai Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA) airports. We recommend setting up your eSIM profile before departure so it's ready to go. Once you land, simply enable your eSIM line and data roaming to connect to local networks, allowing you to book Didi or navigate to your hotel without delay.
