In short
One mu is 0.164737 acre, so to convert mu to acre you multiply by 0.164737, and to go back you multiply acre by 6.07028. 2 mu is 0.329474 acre, 5 is 0.823685 and 10 is 1.64737. A mu is exactly one fifteenth of a hectare — 666.67 m2 — so 15 mu is a hectare and 6 mu is a little under an acre. The tidy relationship is with the hectare rather than the acre, which is why Chinese agricultural statistics convert to hectares cleanly and to acres awkwardly. The mu is used in mainland China and Taiwan, where farm and rural land is universally measured in mu.
How to use the Mu to Acre
