Electricity

The electric current in China is 220V, 50 Hz. Most hotels have built-in converters in bathrooms for shavers and hair dryers. Please note that a variety of plug types are used in China and adaptors may be necessary. Two types of sockets are used in China: three-pin socket (agrounding pin and two flat prongs forming a V-shape) and two-pin socket (two flat parallelprongs without grounding).
