China uses the metric system as the standard for measurement in weight, length, area, volume, etc. Also, an ancient standard of weights and measurements has been used by the Chinese people for more than 2,000 years, and many people are still using a part of the old system. As a result, both the ancient system and the metric system are widely used across the country.
A little knowledge of China’s units of measurements is very helpful to your shopping and communication in China. Please see below for conversion tables for the Chinese system, the metric system and the imperial system.
