Do you need an adapter for the sockets in Hong Kong hotels?

Yes, Hong Kong's feet are round and flat, which is very different from Chinese mainland's! Every country uses a different plug, so you should take an adapter everywhere except China! When purchasing and using plugs, grasp the following points to ensure the safety of family and property:

First, we must choose regular factories, supermarkets or specialty stores, and choose brand products; Select corresponding (supporting) products according to the power of electrical appliances, such as air conditioners, high-power showers and other products, and select 16A plugs and sockets for other low-power household appliances. For example, the purchase of 16A plug power cord depends on whether the square specification of the wire reaches 1.5 square or more. If the line is below 65438,

Second, be sure to see whether the product logo is complete, whether there is a manufacturer's trademark, and whether there is a local national safety certification mark (for example, in the China market, whether there must be a CCC mark). If there is no logo on the plug-in product, the plug-in product must be fake and shoddy, and the quality of the product cannot be guaranteed.

Three, check the plug product certificate and the inspection report issued by the legal department. If the converter product is not subject to compulsory certification, you should check the inspection report issued by the statutory inspection agency when purchasing, or check whether the document number on the plug is valid online.

Fourthly, a simple insertion experiment is carried out on the plug product. After the plug is inserted into the socket, it should be in good contact, without feeling of looseness, and it can be pulled out without too much force, because although some products have been tested before leaving the factory, it will inevitably damage the plug insert when transported after leaving the factory. Test it before you buy it, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary losses in the future.

Never buy a plug with a rotatable pin or change the shape of the plug artificially. The plug that changes its shape must pass CCC certification, otherwise it is definitely an unsafe plug product, which is easy to be broken down by high-voltage electricity. Don't use two high-power appliances on one socket at the same time. When it is found that the temperature is too high or fire occurs, stop using it and replace the plug, socket or power cord.
