Travel Tips

Electricity

In China , the electricity is generally 220V, 50HZ. In the luxury and mid-range hotels, the guest room has an electricity outlet supporting 240 Volt and 110 Volt near the toilet table. But be sure to check it is the right one with the hotel staff. If your appliances require a different voltage, you may need a voltage converter.

The plug seat in China falls into two main types: plug seat with two parallel flat blade and V-shaped plug seat with two flat angled blades and one vertical blade. Electric sockets of other kinds are seldom seen. It your appliances happen to have a different plug from those in your hotel room, a plug adapter is needed.

In case of needing a voltage converter and a plug adapter, you may ask the hotel staff for help. Otherwise, you may buy them big stores or hardware stores. With a view to future travels, you may as well get a combination voltage converter and plug adapter.
