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.

Legendale Hotel Beijing

Tian'anmen Square and Wangfujing Area Beijing|1.55km dari pusat bandar

Traveling to Beijing for a business trip, I needed a hotel close to Tiananmen Square and 1949 The Hidden City (Quanjude). As an InterContinental Platinum member, I used to stay at the Regent, but now I've switched to the Legendale. The location is excellent, it offers great value for money, and I was pleasantly surprised with a suite upgrade. The amenities in the room are high quality, no expense spared, giving off a vibe of upward mobility. The breakfast fruit was delicious, and the room itself was very well-maintained. My only minor complaint is that the hairdryer isn't a newer model; I hope they can update it soon.

Staying at this hotel was such a pleasant surprise! Leah at the front desk had the sweetest smile, and the check-in process was surprisingly fast. She also thoughtfully reminded me about breakfast spots nearby and the parking location. When checking out, she proactively asked about my stay and quickly and reliably helped me arrange a taxi. I didn't feel any impatience from her throughout my stay; every little detail was so warm and thoughtful. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town!

Always excellent, as expected! 👍 This is a big state-owned brand, and the manager personally helped carry our luggage, truly treating us like family! For team-building meetings or family trips, this is the only place to go! I also really appreciate the decor style here; it feels so much more welcoming. Those other hotels with too much glass, stainless steel, and gray decor might look modern, but they just don't have the rich, authentic Old Beijing cultural vibe that this place offers! These are my honest feelings! Definitely a top rating!

Here I am again, after less than a month! This time I even braved a heavy downpour to get here. My flight circled over Beijing for an hour before landing, so I didn't get to the hotel until after midnight. It was another one of those check-in and check-out on the same day trips. I was already feeling pretty groggy, but thankfully, Bella at the front desk was incredibly warm and enthusiastic. She handled everything super quickly and thoughtfully, getting me checked in no time. Once I got to the room, I even bothered the staff to open and close the window for me. They made two trips late at night – I'm really grateful, though I regret not catching their names. This time, my room had an even better view! When I woke up in the morning, the sun was even out, and my mood instantly brightened, just like the weather. I got back late from lunch, but luckily, they extended my check-out time. By the way, I once again ran into the ever-elegant Ms. Rose Xiao. She checked out my room card for me at the very last minute. This trip was truly a whirlwind. As expected, after the storm, there's always sunshine! (I hope I got both employees' names right; I always worry about misspelling them.)

Due to a typhoon, my bullet train was cancelled, so I ended up staying an extra night at the hotel.

I was initially worried about extending my stay in the same room at the last minute, but booking the extension through Trip.com was incredibly smooth!

Overall, a five-star review – I really love this hotel. I'm a foreign tourist and I've traveled to over thirty provinces and ninety cities across China. I've stayed at this hotel multiple times and have also recommended it to my friends and family. The hotel's biggest advantage is its excellent hygiene. The rooms are spotless, and the bathrooms are equipped with smart toilets, which as a foreigner, I particularly appreciate. I do have two issues I'd like to bring to the hotel's attention: First, the takeaway delivery policy. For food safety reasons, the hotel doesn't allow robots to deliver food to guest rooms, so I have to go downstairs to pick it up every time I order. Several times, by the time I get my food, it's already completely cold. Sometimes, it's really inconvenient to go downstairs to pick up food right after showering. My suggestion to the hotel is this: You could prepare a food safety waiver. Guests who voluntarily sign it would acknowledge and accept the food safety risks themselves, allowing robots to deliver food to their rooms. This would both maintain the hotel's management requirements and be more convenient for guests. Second, the bathroom scale in my room is broken and inaccurate. I weigh 180 jin, but the scale showed only 40 jin – the numbers are completely off. Aside from these two minor issues, the hotel is five-star worthy in every other aspect. If these problems can be improved in the future, I will definitely bring my family back to stay here often.

Hotel Jen Beijing has an excellent location, with views of the CCTV Tower directly from the room. The only minor inconvenience was a table placed in front of the window, blocking access and slightly obstructing the view. The room's cleanliness was impeccable. The sofa can be converted into a bed, and the housekeeping staff even set it up with a mattress, sheets, and duvet cover, making it feel quite spacious – perfect for families traveling with children. On the third floor, there's a tea and coffee lounge, which executive room guests can access anytime. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and the restaurant itself was quite large. The hotel also has direct access to China World Mall and China World Hotel. From China World Mall, you can take the scenic elevator to the sixth-floor platform for an unobstructed view of the CCTV Tower, which also houses a cafe – I imagine it's lovely in the evening.

Tian'anmen Square and Wangfujing Area Beijing|0.86km dari pusat bandar

The biggest highlight of the Xinqiao Hotel is its extremely convenient location – directly opposite Chongwenmen Subway Station (where Lines 2 and 5 intersect). It's incredibly easy to get to Wangfujing, Tiananmen Square, and Beijing Railway Station by subway or bus. Plus, there are malls like New World nearby. However, the facilities are indeed quite dated. After all, it's an old hotel that opened in 1954, and some rooms have dim lighting. Some room types are windowless, which can feel a bit stuffy if you haven't confirmed beforehand. I personally recommend getting a room with a window. In summary, if location and transportation convenience are your top priorities and you're fine with the older style of an established hotel, this is a hassle-free choice!

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, assisting us with hailing a taxi and showing us how to get to the various attractions. The hotel even provided a small map to guide us on foot to and from the Palace Museum. Very special is this hotel very family friendly, the have connecting room for the family to stay in, for us, we can take care of our girls without open the door and go to another room. The daily housekeeping was very thorough. The female housekeeper responsible for our rooms 715 and 716 was particularly friendly, attentive, and responsible. My daughter accidentally spilled soy milk on the carpet and bed; I informed her, and she promised to handle it. When we returned to the room that evening, the carpet and bed were spotless, without any smell or stains. We were very satisfied with the hotel's service. We will stay in this hotel again when we go to Beijing again.

It was both relaxing and a great way to experience local culture, suitable for both adults and children.

The night before check-out, we had a genuine and positive conversation at the lobby. She was humble and openly acknowledged her shortcomings and appreciated for helping her learn and grow as a leader. Good to know that a manager willing to take accountability and desire to improve. Every hotel staff we have interacted with are professional and friendly. Aside from the good service recovery, we loved the hotel's convenience: 1. Siji Minfu Peking Roast Duck Restaurant (四季民福) is next to the hotel along with other food options in the same stretch. 2. The hotel is perfectly located within walking distance to Wangfujing Pedestrian Street (shopping and food). 3. The fun robot that delivers food right to our doorstep! The hotel also prepared light snacks for our airport journey. Overall, this hotel is highly recommended!

My friend stayed at this hotel two years ago when they visited Beijing and recommended it to me. Before my trip, I booked and canceled a couple of times because some online reviews weren't great, which made me hesitate. But in the end, I decided to stick with it. I stayed for four consecutive nights. The check-in staff and the concierge at the entrance were very welcoming. The short-haired cleaning aunt on my floor kept the room very clean and was also very friendly. The breakfast was good too. When I checked out, they didn't ask me to write a positive review, but I was so glad I chose this place after experiencing it myself. Oh, and the views from the rooms are beautiful.

Pros: The hotel's location is pretty good, with plenty of dining options nearby and within a 10-minute walk to the subway station. Cons: Food delivery was too slow; the delivery robot was idle, and my food wasn't delivered. The room lighting was a bit dim. The shower curtain in the bathroom didn't feel very clean; I'd suggest using a glass film instead. The mattress was slightly smaller than the bed frame, making it easy to bump my legs. When booking through Ctrip, it showed breakfast included, but if you book for two consecutive days, it's only for one day. Be sure to check the booking page, as I had to pay extra for breakfast. This wouldn't be an issue if booked separately. The lobby lounge area has been converted into a tea shop, leaving limited seating. Even if you can sit there, it feels awkward for guests just trying to relax.

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.

♥️Good news! From 0:00 on December 1, 2023 to 24:00 on December 31, 2025, Malaysians holding ordinary passports can enter China visa-free for business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, and transit for no more than 30 days. If you want to stay longer, you need to apply for a Chinese visa, you can check:

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.

Global Electrical Standards Overview

Globally, there are three main electrical standards for devices: 110-120V is used primarily in North and Central America, 220-240V is common in Europe, Asia, and Oceania, and these dual-voltage systems also differ in frequency, either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, and include different types of plugs specific to each region. Understanding these differences is important for using electronic devices safely when traveling internationally.
