Does TikTok work in mainland china with a Holafly eSIM?
IgotochShared Aug 21, 2026I want to know if the eSim alone is enough or if i should get an VPN, and if yes which one? (I used to use LetsVPN bus as far as I know that doesn't work anymore, pls correct me if I'm wrong) I did some research beforehand but I'm not sure if it's up to date and trustable

Buddy, I can’t give you a specific eSIM brand. I bought my data plan on TRIP; it comes with 5G data and does not require a VPN. To be honest though, the 5G data allowance is not enough. My suggestion is to get any eSIM plus a VPN. It would be ideal if the eSIM product description states that no separate VPN is needed.
Also, are you sure you still want to use TikTok when you arrive in China? Why not give China’s domestic version a try? What a rare opportunity! You can also check out Xiaohongshu. This is China, man.
