Let’s get started! 👇
Plug Types Used in China
Image source: world-power-plugs.com
China's electrical system includes plug types that may differ from what travelers are used to in their home countries. The main plug types found in China include:
China plug type
| Plug Type | Description | Common Usage |
|---|---|---|
Type A | Two flat parallel pins | Common electronics; compatible with US & Japanese plugs |
Type I | Three flat pins in a triangle | Newer buildings and modern facilities; similar to Australia |
Type C | Two round pins | Often found in older buildings and some hotels; widely used in Europe |
Type A
Type A plugs feature two flat, parallel prongs. These are ungrounded and used for general electronics. They are also used in the US and Japan. However, because they are not grounded, they are not suitable for high-powered appliances.
Type I
Type I plugs have three flat pins arranged in a triangle, including a grounding pin, making them safer for higher voltage or sensitive devices. This type is similar to those used in Australia, New Zealand, and parts of the Pacific.
Type C
Type C plugs have two round pins and are one of the oldest types still in use. They are mostly found in older infrastructure. Like Type A, they are not grounded and are used for low-power devices.

The hotel was nice and clean the staff where nice enough. Not what I expected for the price level though. The restaurant times seemed to be different everyday, the only issue I had is that the lobby seems to be constantly full of people (not guests) taking photos and while that the perfectly fine in general this was excessive at times and often blocked the walkways to lifts and stairs to access rooms.DariPHP 8,231

From 2014 to 2019, I spent six-weeks each summer teaching in Beijing, and over that time, the Boyue Beijing Hotel has served as nothing less than a home away from home for me. It is exactly its friendly embrace and easy elegance that distinguishes the Boyue from Beijing’s larger, higher-profile hotels. Still, after a six-year absence caused by the pandemic, I was concerned that I might find a far less welcoming version of the place I had truly come to love. It was a relief to see that Liu Baojun was still out front and that Lisa was still at the head of the dining room, but so many others who had made my stays at the Boyue so unforgettable had moved on. However, no sooner than I checked in, my worries began to vanish completely. That’s when I first met three extraordinary new staff members—Jiaqi, Yonah , and their supervisor Anais—who demonstrated again and again that hospitality was still the heart and soul of coming to stay at this Chaoyang institution. Through the hard work of such talented and committed professionals as these three, the Boyue not only continues to check all the boxes that one expects to find at the highest levels of the hospitality industry—comfort, attentiveness, fine dining, and first-rate facilities—but I am also convinced that in the years since the pandemic, it has actually surpassed its own considerable track record of excellence. Thank you, one and all, for making my latest visit such an absolute pleasure!DariPHP 4,035

I absolutely have to leave a great review for the New Otani Chang Fu Gong, because in all my recent trips to Beijing, having stayed at places like the Beijing Hotel and Shangri-La, I haven't encountered service that met my expectations. Before that, the Marriott Executive Apartments were good. But this time, the Chang Fu Gong absolutely nailed it. From the front desk to the restaurant to the housekeeping, everything was professional. Unlike typical hotels, they didn't bang on my door early in the morning under the guise of cleaning, yet when I returned, the room was already tidied up. The quality of the food in the restaurant was also spot-on. Even though the hotel has been operating for a while, it's very well-maintained, making for a comfortable and cozy stay. The location is also excellent. Their business services are thoughtful too. I'm secretly adding this to my favorites.DariPHP 5,901

Hidden luxury and refinement amidst the hustle and bustle of Beijing, an unforgettable stay!
This hotel perfectly hit all the right notes! The prime location is a huge plus, making commuting and sightseeing incredibly convenient. Even better, you can directly access the shopping mall by simply swiping your card, so you don't have to brave the elements for shopping or dining—a lazy traveler's dream come true.
Stepping into the room, I was immediately impressed by the tasteful furnishings. There's no ostentatious design; instead, the materials and lines exude a subtle sophistication. Coupled with art decor that blends in with Beijing's charm, from wall decorations to corner擺設, every detail reveals the ingenuity of Chinese aesthetics, making it feel like staying in an elegant urban courtyard. The cleanliness was impeccable; the bedding, bathroom, and desk were spotless. This attention to detail in hygiene made for a truly reassuring stay.
The overall atmosphere of the hotel is incredibly comfortable. It avoids an overly flashy sense of luxury, offering instead a subtle yet profound comfort that makes both relaxation and work highly enjoyable. The amenities are also faultless; the pool water is crystal clear, and the gym equipment is comprehensive and well-maintained. After a workout, you can enjoy a refreshing shower, making it easy to maintain your fitness routine even while traveling.DariPHP 4,517

The biggest advantage is the convenient location, close to the subway, making travel easy. It's right next to Shinsegae Department Store and Chongwenmen Market, so it's convenient for food if you don't feel like going far.
The room is quite old, and the soundproofing isn't great, so it's more suitable for travelers who don't spend much time in their room. Think of it as a high-end hostel, and you'll have the right expectation. The service was very good; the room was cleaned daily on time, and amenities were refilled.
Just a heads-up about the black and white throw pillow in the room – hair easily sticks to it and is hard to see. On my check-in day, I found long hair on it and promptly tossed it aside.DariPHP 3,504

I arrived in the morning so I couldn't check in immediately. When I returned in the evening, I was given a room, but the lock was broken. This isn't the first time I've encountered such an issue traveling solo, but the front desk resolved it quite quickly. They upgraded me for one night and asked me to move back to my original room tomorrow. The final room I got (P2) was actually pretty good.
The hotel has central heating only, so it gets quite warm, and I was sweating throughout the night. The front desk suggested opening the window for some coolness. I tried it a bit, but being on the second floor (and next to a Peking duck restaurant), there was a noticeable smoky smell. I'm not sure if there was renovation during the day, but it was pretty quiet at night. There are washing machines and a restaurant on the fifth floor. Breakfast was quite tasty, though a few dishes were a bit salty.
Overall, my stay was pretty good. It's very close to the Forbidden City (about a ten-minute walk to Donghuamen), and the subway station is also convenient. I traveled alone with my suitcase and didn't find it troublesome at all. The only thing is that taxis returning to the hotel usually get caught in traffic, but taking a taxi from the hotel isn't an issue.DariPHP 3,892

My overall experience at the Park Plaza Beijing Wangfujing was very satisfying. The room was clean and tidy, making for a comfortable stay.

The hotel's location is truly excellent, close to a subway station, and surrounded by a wide variety of dining options, making both travel and meals incredibly convenient.
The only minor drawback was that the room felt a bit warm during winter (December 13-19), and adjusting the air conditioning didn't seem to make much difference. However, I later discovered that opening the window for ventilation cooled the room down immediately. The curtain design is also very thoughtful, with two layers: a fabric curtain and a paper shield. By opening the fabric curtain and closing the paper shield, you can have both natural light and privacy. Overall, it's a highly recommended hotel, and I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit.DariPHP 5,910

Let's skip the positives; it's an old, established hotel.
Here are the negatives:
1. The hairdryer was broken. I tried multiple outlets and confirmed it was completely unusable. I took a shower right before leaving in the morning and then discovered the hairdryer was out of order. Luckily, I have short hair, so it dried quickly, but if it were a woman with long hair, it would definitely have caused a delay. When I brought this up at the front desk, their reaction was simply to thank me for informing them, without a single apology.
2. There was renovation work going on upstairs in the hotel, and the sound of the electric drill was quite loud during the day. There was absolutely no warning given at check-in, nor was there any notice about renovation noise placed in the room.
3. The toiletries were in large bottles, but unbelievably, they couldn't fit into the shower niche (as shown in the picture). I had to make do by placing them awkwardly, or else, when I needed shampoo while showering, I had to open the door, step out of the shower stall, and grab it from the sink area.DariPHP 4,365

Do I Need a Voltage Converter in China?
Malaysia uses 240V / 50Hz, while China uses 220V / 50Hz. Most Malaysian travelers do NOT need a voltage converter for standard low-power devices like phones, tablets, cameras, or laptops.
Charging Laptops in China
Most laptops have chargers that support 100V–240V, so they can be safely used in China without a voltage converter.
Charging Smartphones in China
Smartphone chargers typically support 100V–240V. Just check the charger label. If it states “100–240V,” you can use it in China without a transformer — just make sure you have a compatible plug adapter.
Special Equipment May Require a Converter
Some grooming tools (e.g., electric toothbrushes, hair dryers) or kitchen appliances may only support 240V. If not labeled “100–240V,” you’ll need a step-down transformer to avoid malfunction or damage in China.
What Voltage is Used in China?
China uses 220V at 50Hz — this is consistent across both urban and rural areas.
- Hong Kong: 220V
- Taiwan: 110V
If your device supports 220V or is dual-voltage (e.g., “100–240V”), it will work in China. Otherwise, a voltage converter is required.
