Why Convert Mu to Square Meters?
Converting between mu (亩) and square meters (m²) is one of the most common area conversions. Whether for engineering, cooking, travel, or science, knowing how to quickly convert 亩 to m² saves time and prevents errors.
Area conversions between 亩 and m² are critical in real estate, agriculture, and urban planning. When buying property internationally, apartment sizes are quoted in square meters in most countries but square feet in the US. Agricultural land in China uses mu (亩), while Western countries use hectares or acres. Understanding area conversion helps compare real estate prices across different markets accurately.
How to Convert Mu to Square Meters
To convert mu to square meters, use the following formula:
m² = 亩 × 666.6666667
Example: 1 亩 = 666.6666667 m²
For example, 5 亩 = 3333.333333 m², 10 亩 = 6666.666667 m², and 100 亩 = 66666.66667 m². Our calculator above performs this conversion instantly with full precision — no rounding errors.
Common Use Cases
- One mu of farmland: 1 亩 = 666.6666667 m²
- Small rural homestead: 3 亩 = 2000 m²
- One hectare equivalent (≈15 mu): 15 亩 = 10000 m²
- Small-scale commercial farm in China: 100 亩 = 66666.66667 m²
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Square vs linear: When converting area, the factor is squared. If 1 m = 3.281 ft, then 1 m² = 10.764 ft² (3.281²), not 3.281 ft².
- Hectare vs acre precision: 1 hectare = 2.471 acres. Many people round to 2.5, which introduces 1.2% error — significant for land transactions.
- Regional units: Asian countries use unique area units (畝/mu in China, 坪/pyeong in Korea/Taiwan). Don't assume universal standards.
Pro Tips
- Memorize the factor: 1 亩 = 666.6666667 m². For quick mental math, remember this base conversion.
- Quick reference: 5 亩 = 3333.333333 m² · 10 亩 = 6666.666667 m² · 25 亩 = 16666.66667 m² · 50 亩 = 33333.33333 m² · 100 亩 = 66666.66667 m²
