will my south african plugs work in hong kong?

Question

I am South African and my 2 point plugs work just fine in South Korea and the voltage is the same (I live and work here now). Will I be able to use them in Hong Kong as well? Is there a voltage difference?

Lucy · Answer

The voltage is the same. It's 220V. However, the frequency is 60Hz in South Korea and 50Hz in HK. So I suggest you buy a step-down transformer. The plug can't be used in HK. The plugs in South Korea have two round pins. However, those used in HK have 3 flat blades. You need an adaptor.
