China China power plug : do I need a travel adapter?

If you travel to China, you'll need a travel adapter because they use a very specific type of plugs. Nevertheless, in the East of China (Beijing, Shanghai...), some hotels are equiped with international plugs (you can plug everything you want).

 

To know if you need a travel plug adapter to go to China, you have to consider 3 things : the shape of the plugs, the voltage and the frequency of the current delivered by electrical outlets in China.
