Electrical System in China

A great site for information on the world's electronics is http://users.pandora.be/worldstandards/electricity.htm and see China.

The two types that are used are type A and type I. Type G is only used in Hong Kong. Both of these are usually located on the same power plug (type A above type I) and run 220v at 50Hz. For those in Australia and New Zealand, the 3 pin system is nearly identical. For European countries, an adaptor will be needed. These are widely available here to suit a huge range of plugs, but it might be advisable to purchase at least 1 before coming so that you can use the electricity straight away.

For those in North America, check if your appliances can take 220v. If not, you may need to purchase a transformer to run your appliance. These are not readily available here.
