Hong Kong is 220v ! Better to buy new things there if you're staying there very long.

Well things like phones and computers have adapters that can work on any voltage around the world. However things like hairdryers and kettles will work on the 110V US supply and Hongkong uses a 220 British powersupply. The weight limite on flights adds up pretty quickly so you won't really be able to take too much. Hong Kong is a free port and you have lots of different products are very cheap prices.

Not only that the voltage is different in Hong Kong but also the plugs, Hong Kong's are 3-legs while the US are 2 so you need to buy a socket that could fit both ends.

Leave your appliances in America. Hong Kong has different voltage and plug configurations than the United States. You will need to buy voltage converters and plug adapterss for everything if you bring them to Hong Kong. Trust me, it's too big of a hassle for a $30 hair dryer.

No,I do not think so, Hong Kong the voltage is 220V,while USA is 110V.
