Look in the back of the power adapter. it should be 100-240V usually.
andrzej is correct. All you need is a power converter.

Unfortunately, I dont recall a place near by you that will sell
a converte. There are not many place around there.
But I'm sure you can find it in a local shopping center..
(just dont pay more than a couple of RMB for one -
you can bargain down the price many folds
ideally you can buy a few of these for a couple of RMB)

moondog may have a better idea about the area.

I think you are closer to the 5th ring road.
