Hong Kong units of measurement
text:
Hong Kong has three main systems of units of measurement in current use: The Chinese units of measurement of the Qing Empire;
British Imperial units; and
The metric system. In 1976 the Hong Kong Government started the conversion to the metric system, and as of 2012 measurements for government purposes, such as road signs, are almost always in metric units. However, all three systems are officially permitted for trade, and in the wider society a mixture of all three systems prevails.
