Travel adapter from Peru to China

No Adapter Needed

You will not need a plug adapter — Peru and China share at least one common plug shape (Type A, Type C). The mains frequency is also different (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.

More about plugs in China

In China, the standard power plug is Type A and Type C and Type I. The country runs on 230 volts at 50 Hz. That means wall sockets in China can be one of 3 different shapes — Type A, Type C, Type I, and your plug needs to physically match the socket to fit.
