Measurement & Electricity in China
Don’t be Afraid of the Metric System
The metric system is used for measurement in China, as in most other nations of the world. Conversion between the Chinese system and the Anglo-American imperial system when it comes to length, square measurements, weight, and volume are provided below so you don’t have to perform any complicated formulas in your head.

Length
1 km (1,000 m) = 2 li = 0.621 mile = 0.54 sea mile
1 m = 3 chi = 3.281 ft = 1.094 yard
1 li = 0.5 km = 0.311 mile = 0.27 sea mile
1 chi = 0.333 m = 1.094 ft
1 mile = 1.609 km = 3.219 li = 0.868 sea mile
1 ft = 0.305 m = 0.914 chi
1 sea mile = 1.852 km = 3.704 li = 1.15 mile
Square Measures
1 hectare = 15 mu = 2.47 acre
1 mu = 0.067 hectare = 0.164 acre
1 acre = 0.405 hectare = 6.07 mu
Weight
1 kg = 2 jin = 2.205 pound
1 jin = 0.5 kg = 1.102 pound
1 UK pound = 0.454 kg = 0.907 jin
Volume
1 liter = 1 sheng = 0.22 UK gallon
1 UK gallon = 4.546 liter = 4.546 sheng
Electricity
The electricity used in China is 220 volt AC. Wash rooms in many middle- and high-end hotels are equipped with transformer plugs for electric shavers and hair dryers. For safety purpose, bringing an adapter along with you is a much better option.
