Square Meters → Mu

Why Convert Square Meters to Mu?

Converting between square meters (m²) and mu (亩) is one of the most common area conversions. Whether for engineering, cooking, travel, or science, knowing how to quickly convert m² to 亩 saves time and prevents errors.

Area conversions between m² and 亩 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 Square Meters to Mu

To convert square meters to mu, use the following formula:

For example, 5 m² = 0.0075 亩, 10 m² = 0.015 亩, and 100 m² = 0.15 亩. Our calculator above performs this conversion instantly with full precision — no rounding errors.

Common Use Cases

• One Chinese mu (standard definition): 667 m² = 1.0005 亩
• Three-bedroom apartment: 90 m² = 0.135 亩
• Five mu of farmland: 3335 m² = 5.0025 亩
• One hectare (≈15 mu): 10000 m² = 15 亩

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 m² = 0.0015 亩. For quick mental math, remember this base conversion.
• Quick reference: 5 m² = 0.0075 亩 · 10 m² = 0.015 亩 · 25 m² = 0.0375 亩 · 50 m² = 0.075 亩 · 100 m² = 0.15 亩
