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 TypeDescriptionCommon 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.

First, the pros: The location is excellent, the room is spacious and elegantly designed, and there's a small balcony. The bedding is comfortable, and breakfast is plentiful. The only downside is the limited seating, so expect queues during peak season. Now for the cons: I'm quite sensitive to noise. I feel the hotel's opera-house-like room layout amplifies sound significantly, so if there are noisy guests on any floor, it seems the entire hotel would be affected. The sound of plumbing from the adjacent bathroom was also very noticeable. Although the room has wall-to-wall carpeting, the noise from upstairs activities was still quite loud. I only stayed one night as a transit hotel, so I don't have many other strong impressions.

I stayed at the Sofitel last year, and I chose it again this year because of my excellent previous experience. I messaged Manager Li in advance on WeChat, and everything was perfectly arranged. They upgraded us to a quiet room on a higher floor with a view of the China Zun. I also realized the subway station is actually less than a five-minute walk away, which I didn't notice last time! Taking a taxi around the Second Ring Road is really slow every day. Plus, Ziguangyuan and Scitech are right behind the hotel, so the surrounding amenities are pretty good. The only thing the room really needs is an upgrade to smart devices; otherwise, everything else was great!

I had such a wonderful stay at Boyue Hotel and honestly wish I could have stayed longer. From the moment I arrived, everything stood out. The hotel is incredibly clean, well maintained, and very welcoming. The service was truly exceptional. The staff were all kind, warm, and professional, but I have to give a special mention to Yunah at reception. She was absolutely lovely, so helpful, patient, and genuinely caring. She really made my stay feel special and stress free. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and spotless, which made it easy to relax after a long day. I was also really impressed with the breakfast and restaurant service. The food was great, and I loved that the restaurant is available for most of the day. It is super convenient. Another big plus is the location. The hotel is very central, close to embassies and key areas in the city, and it is easy to get to and from. Everything you need is within reach. Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay. Everything from the cleanliness to the service and location exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend Boyue Hotel and would happily stay there again.

This was my first stay at the Grand Millennium Beijing, and it exceeded my expectations by far. It wasn't overly crowded, so it felt very peaceful and quiet. The swimming pool is a major highlight, integrated seamlessly with the gym on a different floor, creating a spacious, high-ceilinged area with a Southeast Asian vibe. I encountered many Hong Kongers there, from business travelers in the elevator to an elderly couple in the executive lounge; they were all very humble and friendly. The surrounding area boasts a wide variety of restaurants, and the Fortune Plaza Mall is practically a canteen for Beijing's white-collar workers. The night view is also top-notch, with the CCTV Headquarters lit up beautifully. A pleasant surprise was bumping into a celebrity while working out – the 'rooster among roosters,' haha. The Grand Millennium is fantastic, giving me every reason to return. The male manager who handled my check-in was very gracious, and the service was just perfect.

The room isn't huge, and it's not a brand-new hotel, but the facilities and service are excellent. Let's start with the facilities: 1. The bedside lamps aren't directly overhead; they're adjustable, so you won't disturb anyone sleeping next to you. 2. The toilet is a Toto Washlet, and the flush is incredibly quiet. Many hotels now have smart toilets, but their flushes can be deafening, waking up everyone in the room in the middle of the night. This hotel's smart toilet is the quietest I've ever encountered, which is a huge plus. 3. The curtains are electric blackout blinds that move up and down, which I prefer because they don't collect dust easily. 4. The breakfast selection is quite extensive and very good. 5. The small garden isn't large, but it features rockeries, a waterfall, flowers, and several different types of trees, including hawthorn, apple, and even a Japanese Puxian cherry. Now, about the service: 1. There's an AI photo booth and a claw machine on the first floor, both free. The staff are incredibly enthusiastic. If a child can't grab a doll, they'll even open the machine to adjust the doll's position, making it easier for the child to win. The photo booth generates AI photos based on your shots and chosen backgrounds, printing them out as a fridge magnet – very cool! 2. When my child was taking a bottle of mineral water to go out, a staff member on the first floor noticed and proactively came over to attach a portable clip to the bottle so it could be hung. We stayed here for two days, and it felt more and more comfortable with each passing night. The room was also very quiet. Additionally, right next to the hotel is an ancient observatory, which was once the Royal Observatory. It's well worth a visit, with volunteer guides who explain China's astronomical history beautifully. Highly recommended.

The hotel is located right at the southwest corner of Sanyuan Bridge and offers great value for money. Transportation is incredibly convenient, with the Sanyuanqiao subway station on Line 10 directly across the street. The Phoenix Galleria shopping mall, also across the street, has a wide variety of restaurants, and for even more options, Sanlitun or Solana are nearby. Getting to the airport is a breeze; you can hop onto Jingmi Road right from the hotel and then transfer to the Airport Expressway at Siyuan Bridge, reaching Capital Airport very quickly. The hotel's gym is well-equipped. The staff are all very enthusiastic, especially a young doorman who always greets guests warmly upon entering and leaving, making you feel right at home.

I wonder if the staff handling Ctrip bookings understand the hotel's motto: 'A love letter to the city.' Every interaction with a customer reflects how welcomed hotel guests truly feel. Even with a great stay, if a guest notes an early arrival, copying and pasting a response about full-day charges from X to X o'clock and half-day charges from X to X o'clock is simply wrong and inappropriate. (In this situation, I just canceled. 😑 It's not like Beijing doesn't have other resort hotels.) It's disheartening and unprofessional. Aside from a staff member whose English name was 'Huang something,' the entire communication process lacked any international standard. It was cold, indifferent, and they couldn't be bothered to do a little extra. I suspect the people processing Ctrip orders hate their jobs. What I remember most vividly is a previous booking where, due to a minor note, Ctrip called me twice to relay the hotel's requests. I angrily complained, and that's why there wasn't a third call. Your reservation handling truly leaves a lot to be desired. To say it's unwelcome isn't quite right; it's more like a letdown. It feels like they treat guests like employees, responding like they're reciting from an employee manual. The service at the executive lounge, however, was as thoughtful and consistent as ever. The male staff members are familiar faces and speak excellent English; the female staff rotate frequently. The bathtubs on the executive floor need renovation. And please don't give me a room ending in '3' next time. The iced latte at breakfast was very good. I will continue to frequent the executive lounge and monitor the reservation department's attitude. I'll complain if necessary, after all, going to a hotel on the weekend should be enjoyable. Housekeeping efficiency is extremely high.

The hotel itself is fine, located in the prime Guomao area. Compared to the China World Hotel and Park Hyatt next door, this is the newest and most affordable option. Sticking to my preference for newer hotels, it's very photogenic and offers great value for money. However, the surrounding traffic can be quite congested, so definitely plan your commutes in advance.

My friend and I stayed here for one night, and this was my second time returning to this hotel. The room was large, clean, and had a stunning view of the city. The breakfast was wonderful and varied - something for every taste. The location is superb. It's just two metro stops to the Temple of Heaven, or you can walk there in about 30 minutes at a leisurely pace. The same distance (around 30 minutes on foot) also takes you to Qianmen Street. Very convenient. The only small issue was the air conditioning. The temperature in the room felt well above 25°C, and we couldn't get it to cool down properly. That said, it might have been our fault, perhaps, we just didn't understand how the system works. Overall, I came back because I had a good experience before, and aside from the AC question mark, this stay was just as comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

During my stay with family at the Sunworld Hotel in Beijing, I really enjoyed my stay. In the 7 days we stayed in April, I had quite the utmost quality of every hotel in the district. The twin room we stayed was very nice with 2 queen size beds that can be joined together to form a very spacious bed fit for a couple and a kid. The interior of the room was recently renovated with comfy beds and well deaigned bathroom. I would like to thank the cleaning lady on the 8th floor who would systematically clean rooms with the best quality experience, each day. Next, about the food for breakfast. I really enjoyed the food they offer at the hotel buffet, with lots of really cool options, such as noodles cooked on the spot, bread, fruit with watermelon and banana, and yogurt. I also appreciate the location of the hotel, with the site near the major sites, such as the Wangfujing shopping district, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and Jingshan Park. I recommend this hotel because it is close to two metro stations in Beijing, Line 8's Jinyu Hutong and Line 5's Dengshikou, and the facilities are very high quality. It will be more perfect to include a running machine in the fitness room.

I stayed at this hotel ten years ago. It's right at Exit H of Chongwenmen Subway Station, making it super convenient to get everywhere. Next door, you have New World Shopping Mall and a few other malls, so there are plenty of dining options. Even if you don't take the subway, it's a short bike ride to Tiananmen Square. Breakfast is decent, but the rooms really need a renovation; they're outdated. There's only one outlet by the bed, and it's loose, so fast chargers won't stay in. The bathroom door is also warped and hard to close. It definitely needs repairs. I was in room 918.

Before our arrival, the hotel called to confirm the number of guests and proactively upgraded our room.

The hotel is conveniently located on Jinyu Hutong, making it super easy to get to the Forbidden City, the National Museum, Yonghe Temple, and other attractions. I'll definitely recommend this place to any friends visiting Beijing.

The biggest highlight here is that the hotel can help you get a queue number for the neighboring Siji Minfu restaurant. You just need to tell the front desk roughly what time you plan to eat. The day before yesterday, they proactively upgraded our room to one with a window. Jinshi Hutong subway station is right next door, and there's a craft beer spot nearby. It's only two subway stops to the National Museum and Tiananmen Square. Walking from the hotel to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City takes about 15 minutes. After visiting the Forbidden City and Jingshan Park, a three-stop bus ride brings you right back to the hotel, making it super convenient to grab your luggage and head to your next destination. It's perfect for families with kids.

I have to rave about the location – it's incredibly convenient for getting anywhere. You can walk to Metro Lines 1 and 5, making travel absolutely effortless. Step out of the hotel, turn left, and just 50 meters away is a mall with so many shopping and dining options, you'll be spoilt for choice. All your retail therapy and foodie needs are easily met! The room was an even bigger surprise. It was incredibly spacious and bright with fantastic natural light. The floor-to-ceiling window offered an amazing view – so comfortable to just lie there and take in the scenery. The facilities were also comprehensive. The pillows and mattress were incredibly comfortable; I slept like a baby and woke up completely refreshed. And let's not forget the breakfast on the second floor. The variety of Chinese and Western dishes was extensive, offering so many choices. Every morning, I left feeling completely satisfied. I had such a wonderful stay these past few days. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I visit!

The hotel is directly opposite the Beijing Children's Hospital, and the surrounding area is really pleasant. Ritan Park is also nearby, and I noticed many foreigners staying here – it felt like there were more foreigners than Chinese guests! **Location and Transportation:** It's a bit far from the subway, more than a kilometer from Jianguomen station, but you can easily bike there. However, it's not far from Wangfujing or Guomao, so taking a taxi is more convenient. **Room Facilities:** The rooms are loft-style. We stayed in a deluxe room and a comfort room on separate nights. The deluxe room was larger, but otherwise, there wasn't much difference. The rooms were very clean. For two women and a child, the king-size bed was spacious enough even sleeping horizontally. **Cleanliness:** The bathroom was very clean, which I was very happy about. **Swimming Pool:** The swimming pool and gym are on the top floor, which is very convenient. The sunroof opens on good weather days. **Value for Money:** Hotels in Beijing during the May Day holiday are usually very expensive. The day before, my family booked a very ordinary hotel near Wangfujing for 780 RMB. So, I booked this place for the next day. Compared to its usual price, the increase wasn't too significant, so overall, it offered pretty good value for money.

Wangjing Area Beijing|10.16km dari pusat bandar
The room design is well considered, and the space is clean and nicely maintained. However, the key concern during my stay was the ventilation and air conditioning. Despite setting the temperature to the lowest (18.5°C with cooling mode on), the room remained warm and rather stuffy, with no window available for natural ventilation. I do appreciate the attentiveness of the staff—they noticed the situation and kindly provided ice and standing fans. Nevertheless, the room still felt uncomfortably warm, and the ventilation did not improve significantly. As a result, I contacted customer service to request a room change the following morning, as the environment had become quite uncomfortable. Thankfully, the replacement room had a functioning air conditioner. Although the fridge was initially not working, it was promptly replaced. Another aspect worth noting is the shower experience. After a long day, a good shower is essential for relaxation. Unfortunately, the water pressure was relatively weak, which affected the overall comfort. Overall, the stay was acceptable, though there is room for improvement—particularly in the air conditioning design, as the airflow is directed towards the bathtub area, which may not be the most practical or user-friendly arrangement. These observations are shared purely from a personal perspective, with the intention of providing constructive feedback for future enhancement.

We stayed here for a family trip during the May Day holiday. The hotel's location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around and finding places to eat. The service was pretty good too. As for the facilities, the room size was a bit on the smaller side, which I guess might be due to the hotel's overall positioning, so I can understand that. The biggest letdown, though, was the breakfast. It was extremely mediocre; our group of three families all felt there was absolutely nothing good to eat. We ended up just having some fruit and eggs. It pales in comparison to business hotels like Atour, Jianguo Puyin, or Orange Crystal, which feels mismatched with the hotel's caliber. I hope they can improve this in the future.

For this friends' gathering, we wanted to experience a traditional courtyard hotel. We chose the Waldorf Astoria over the Aman, and it was an excellent experience! The room was very new and spacious, and the courtyard was beautiful. All the staff were incredibly thoughtful. Before check-in, our dedicated butler, Amber, contacted us to ask if we needed any anniversary decorations and about our bedding preferences. We arrived quite early, and our room wasn't ready yet, so they kindly prepared a room for us in the main building to rest. They guided us through the entire process, and the service was incredibly detailed and attentive, giving us a fantastic first impression right from check-in. For breakfast, we opted for room service. The variety was extensive, with American, Continental, Chinese, and even low-fat options. Staff member Will also provided very attentive service. The hotel even offered a complimentary travel photography service. Although it was raining, the photographer (a young man named Yueqian) found great spots, and the photos turned out natural and beautiful. While taking photos in the courtyard, we met another staff member, Judy, who was very enthusiastic. She gave us many tips on photo locations and also told us about fun places to visit in Beijing. If we weren't heading to Universal Studios, we would have loved to stay a few more days. The overall experience was excellent, and I'd love to bring my parents here next time.

The front desk lady provided excellent service; she was very enthusiastic, responded to messages promptly, and quickly addressed my needs, which was truly great. The cleaning lady was also very kind and specifically helped me refill my water bottles. The lady at the entrance who helped with luggage was very warm. Overall, I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Beijing. Oh, and the BBQ place across the street is pretty tasty too, hehe.

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 Power Plug & Socket

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

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.
