What this tool does
- Convert land for land-registry and lease paperwork: mu, fen, li and hectares in one place.
- Read foreign agricultural data: 1 acre ≈ 6.07 mu and 1 Taiwanese jia ≈ 14.55 mu.
- Work in the sub-units fen, li and hao when plots are small.

Output
1 市亩 = 666.666667 平方米(666.6666666666666 m²) 平方毫米 (mm²) = 666666666.666667 mm² 平方厘米 (cm²) = 6666666.666667 cm² 平方米 (m²) = 666.666667 m² 平方市尺 (平方市尺) = 6000 平方市尺 平方市丈 (平方市丈) = 60 平方市丈 市亩 (亩) = 1 亩 市分 (分) = 10 分 市厘 (厘) = 100 厘 市毫 (毫) = 1000 毫 公亩 (a) = 6.666667 a 公顷 (ha) = 0.066667 ha 英亩 (ac) = 0.164737 ac 台湾甲 (甲) = 0.068734 甲 日本亩 (日亩) = 6.722222 日亩 平方千米 (km²) = 0.000667 km² 平方市里 (平方市里) = 0.002667 平方市里 五种「亩」辨析:市亩(1/15 公顷,2000/3 m²)是大陆法定市制亩;公亩(a,100 m²)是公制面积单位,有时被口语叫“亩”;英亩(ac,4046.8564224 m²)是英美单位;台湾甲(9699.17 m²)与日本亩(99.1736 m²)是当地传统亩制。换算前一定要确认对方说的是哪一种。
1 market mu = 666.666667 m² (2000/3); 1 hectare = 15 mu and 1 acre = 6.070285 mu.
Frequently asked questions
What are the five different “mu”?
(1) The Chinese market mu: 2000/3 ≈ 666.67 m². (2) The are: 100 m², metric, sometimes called a mu colloquially. (3) The acre: 4046.8564224 m². (4) The Taiwanese jia: 9699.17 m². (5) The Japanese mu: about 99.1736 m² (30 tsubo). The smallest and largest differ by nearly 100×.
How do mu, fen, li and hao relate?
Decimal sub-units: 1 mu = 10 fen = 100 li = 1000 hao. Conversely 10 mu = 1 qing.
Why is one mu exactly 2000/3 m²?
One zhang is 10/3 m and one mu is 60 square zhang: 60 × (10/3)² = 2000/3 m². The page shows the 6-decimal truncation 666.666667.
Where do the Taiwanese jia and Japanese mu figures come from?
Both derive from the tsubo (ping), 1 ping = 400/121 ≈ 3.305785 m². The jia is 2934 ping ≈ 9699.17 m² and the Japanese mu 30 ping ≈ 99.1736 m².
