Hi, I'll be traveling to Beijing in June and it's my first time visiting China. Are there any special adapters needed to recharge an Ipod or digital camera?

You can buy adapters all over Beijing. You might consider buying the various USB battery chargers.

A google search for battery extenders may be useful. Here is a link to an IPOD extender:
