What Travelers Should Prepare
Check Your Devices
- If your country uses 110V (e.g., USA, Canada, Japan), verify that your devices support 220V.
- If your device does not support 220V, you will need a voltage converter in addition to a plug adapter.
Plug Adapter
- Remember to bring a Type G adapter if your plug is different.
- It is a good idea to have a universal travel adapter for multiple plug types so that you can reuse in other places.
Where to Buy Adapters or Converters in Hong Kong
- Airport: Adapters are available at shops in Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).
- Electronics Stores:
- Fortress
- Broadway
- Apliu Street (Sham Shui Po) – A good place for affordable electronics and adapters.
- Supermarkets: Some ParknShop or Wellcome locations carry basic adapters.
Enjoy your trip to Hong Kong!
