Sim card shop

Reaching Chongqing by Singapore Airlines at 2 am night,will the Sim Card shop at international airport will remain open at that time

Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG) is a large airport with several telecom counters for purchasing SIM cards. However, most official SIM card shops (China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom) at the international arrivals hall usually operate during standard business hours, roughly from early morning until late evening.

Arriving at 2:00 AM presents some challenges:

  • Most SIM card counters at the international arrivals area are likely to be closed at that hour.
  • There may be vending machines or 24-hour convenience stores that sell prepaid SIMs, but availability is limited and may not support all types of packages.
  • Airport staff or the airline information desk may be able to provide guidance, but they usually cannot sell SIM cards themselves.

Alternative options if you arrive late at night:

  • Purchase a SIM card in advance online that can be activated upon arrival.
  • Use international roaming temporarily until the SIM shops open in the morning.
  • Buy a SIM at a local convenience store or telecom shop in the city once you get to Chongqing, though you may need a taxi or metro to reach one.

In summary, it is unlikely that the official SIM card counters at Chongqing Airport will be open at 2 AM, so plan ahead with either an online SIM, international roaming, or waiting until morning.
