| Everyday prices | 51 on our price index (US = 100) |
| Power | Type A/I sockets, 220/380 V, 50 Hz |
On cost, China is mid-priced for travelers: everyday prices sit at about 51 on a global index where the United States is 100. See how China compares to 179 countries.
On power, you are in luck: both New Zealand outlets and China's use Type I, so many of your chargers should fit as-is. Voltage differs too (220/380 V there versus 230/400 V at home), so check for a dual-voltage label before plugging in. Full plug and voltage guide for China.
