From small temples nestled away in regions like Wan Chai to Victoria Peak’s incredible views of the island, Hong Kong radiates beauty and adventure.

How much travel data do I need in Hong Kong?
The amount of data you’ll need in Hong Kong depends on a few things. While in your hotel room you’ll have access to Wi-Fi, but as soon as you leave to explore the local attractions you will need mobile data.
Luckily, a Hong Kong eSIM offers flexible data plans. You can start with a basic data plan and add more as needed. It’s that easy.
We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip.
Will I pay roaming charges with a Hong Kong eSIM?
Definitely not. Once activated, a Hong Kong eSIM enables your device to connect to a local Hong Kong network.
You will not be charged for roaming because your smart device will be using prepaid data from your Hong Kong eSIM.
To avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM, please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan).
