china electric plug

Ah, the infamous China electric plug—usually a Type I, which looks like a slightly awkward V shape with an extra grounding pin. It runs on 220V at 50Hz, so if you're hopping over from Australia, your gadgets might just have a cultural shock. You'll find these plugs in most Chinese households and businesses, so pack an adapter unless you're a fan of spontaneous sparking.

Keep in mind that voltage differences might fry your gear, so a converter could be necessary. For reliable adapters and local info, check out ServiceCentral or Tradingpost.
