If you are travelling with more than your iPhone the best international travel adapter for China is a multiple USB port adapter which includes swappable plugs such as a 4 port USB travel charger. There are three standards of plug sockets in China (I, A and C) and bringing this will ensure that you are covered for both types A and C. As these chargers come with interchangeable pins and can handle from 100 to 240 volts will mean you can travel to multiple countries in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa simply by changing the heads. If your model of iPhone is compatible with Fast Charge (please note not all USB devices can) then you'll benefit from much quicker recharging times with one of these types of travel adapters along with compatibility with certain power hungry devices like tablets. This means you can charge more than one device at once without needing to bring seperate travel chargers on your Chinese trip or using up additional power sockets. Only bringing a single international travel charger will keep the overall weight down, making it ideal to fold up and store in hand baggage whilst travelling. Because of their versatility these types of travel adapters can be used back at home not just abroad so when you’re not on holiday they can be used overnight charging multiple smartphones, tablets and speakers without using up an additional wall outlet.
