Officials discovered that she was carrying four cell phones, a laptop computer, an external hard drive and a thumb drive that apparently contained malware.
US President Donald Trump has said that he is "not concerned at all" about the alleged espionage at Mar-a-Lago, days after the Secret Service arrested a Chinese woman with a flash drive allegedly containing malware from his high-security resort in Florida.
Zhang's arrest attracted comments from Chinese internet users on the popular Weibo microblogging service, many of whom portrayed her as having been tricked by those seeking to exploit her desire for attention and connections. Then, she claimed to be attending a non-existent Chinese-American friendship event.
Earlier in the hearing, Zhang told a federal judge that she had been in the United States with her family for only a short time. As the AP reported, she did not have a bathing suit.
Meanwhile, the FBI's Counterintelligence Division in South Florida is looking into who Zhang is and whether she has any links to Chinese intelligence, according to the Miami Herald.
The Communist Party newspaper Global Times, known for its strident nationalism, ran a lengthy report on the Zhang and Yang cases, accusing the US media of hyping them as examples of Chinese "Trojan horses" entering Mar-a-Lago out of an excess of "Cold War thinking".

Zhang Yujing was arrested and charged with making false statements to federal officers and knowingly entering a restricted building - which Mar-a-Lago becomes while Trump is in residence.
However, Trump brushed off concerns on Wednesday, calling the incident a "fluke", praising the Secret Service's handling of the intruder and telling reporters he was not concerned about spying at the resort.
Zhang faces a charge of trespassing and a charge of lying to federal agents for that attempt.
The Secret Service has tried to blame Mar-a-Lago for the incident, saying that the club is responsible for who is admitted.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and Secret Service Director Randolph Alles, wrote, "Access to the club could allow agents of foreign governments to collect valuable information on those with access to President Trump or conduct any of several other intelligence collection or influence operations".
