I plan to bring equipment (camera, laptop, etc.) that needs to be charged, do I need adapters and or converters?
Yes, you will need both an adapter and a converter since China's
electrical system operates on 220/240 volts. Most hotels have
both two and three prong sockets that need specific adapters for
use with U.S. made appliances. Therefore, it is advisable to bring
your own electrical converters and adapter plugs. It's best to
purchase a universal adapter kit, which includes several different
adapters, so one is bound to work. The travel section of your
nearest convenience store usually sells such a kit. Be sure it
includes an adapter that says China or Asia on it. One place you can find the type I plug most common in mainland China is here: Mainland Plug. They also have the Hong Kong style plug adaptors Plug F and Plug C.
