Sanya What sort of electrical service can I expect in Sanya, China?
Posted: Sat November 17, 2007 09:26 PM UTC
I am traveling to Sanya, China soon for a business conference. I will be staying at the Hilton Resort. I am wondering if anyone knows what type of electrical connections I can expect there? 110? 220? What type of plugs?
Thanks for your help.

HI! David:

This is a useful website: http://kropla.com/electric2.htm
Suggest you bring a multi-plug adaptor.

Thanks MikeySoft! The pictures on your site were very useful. I am actually shipping a large quantity of AV gear to this location for a corporate seminar. So I need to purchase a large quantity of adapters to ship with my gear. Last year I went to Hong Kong for a similiar seminar and was hoping that the electrical connectors in Sanya might be the same, but alas... they are not!

Thanks xuessium! The website you mentioned was also very helpful. I usually do bring a set of universal adapters wherever I travel, but in this case, due to the large quantity of equipment that I have to ship, I was trying to discover the specific adapter that I would need to use in Sanya.

It may be hard to see from my picture but the two parallel flat blades will not accept polarized flat blades. Polarized is when one blade is a little bigger then the other, vary common in the US.
