🔑How to Access the China Mainland Version of Seedance 2.0 Using a VPN

⚠️ Note: Accessing region-restricted services via VPN may violate platform terms of service. Policies can change at any time. The following is a summary of the commonly described method, not an endorsement.

How to access Doubao Website？

The idea is to make the Doubao website detect you as being located in Hong Kong or mainland China, allowing access to the domestic version of Seedance 2.0.

This typically involves:

• Using a clean browser profile
• Connecting to a Hong Kong or mainland China VPN server
• Visiting Doubao’s official website
• Manually selecting the Seedance 2.0 video model
• Explicitly prompting it to generate video instead of images

⭐Step-by-Step Summary

1. Create a Clean Browser Profile (Recommended)

To avoid region conflicts:

• Open Chrome
• Click Profile icon → Add
• Create a new profile (e.g., “Seedance 2.0”)

This prevents:

• Old cookies
• Conflicting regional logins
• Automatic redirects

2. Connect to a VPN (Hong Kong or Mainland China)

• Use a reputable VPN provider.
• Connect to:
  • Hong Kong (most commonly used)
  • Mainland China (if available)

Hong Kong usually provides better speed and stability.

If the site loads slowly, switch between nearby Asian servers.

3. Visit Doubao’s Website

Go to: https://www.doubao.com/

If the interface is in Chinese:

• Use your browser’s built-in translation feature.
• Most modern browsers can auto-translate instantly.

2. How to Register for Jimeng (Dreamina) outside China

3 Access the Creation Dashboard
Once authorization is complete, your Jimeng account is automatically created. You can immediately enter the creation studio and start using Seedance 2.0 features (depending on your membership tier).
