CNY to KRW Converter (Chinese Yuan to Korean Won)
1 CNY = 201.117 KRW at the saved rate of 2026-11-10. Convert Chinese yuan into Korean won for shopping, study or business in Korea.
The yuan renminbi (CNY) is issued by the People's Bank of China and counted to the fen, two decimal places; the Korean won (KRW, ₩), issued by the Bank of Korea, is counted in whole units. A yuan amount with jiao and fen therefore converts to a won figure rounded to the nearest won.
Visitors from mainland China use this direction to plan shopping in Seoul's Myeongdong district, a holiday on Jeju Island or a stay for medical or cosmetic treatment, and Chinese students at Korean universities use it to budget rent and fees. Trading companies that buy Korean cosmetics, food or electronics with yuan funds compare supplier prices the same way.
How to use this tool
- Type an amount in CNY to see it in KRW, or type in the KRW box to convert the other way.
- Read the rate line under the boxes: it shows the saved rate and its date.
- Use the tables below for common amounts, or open the currency converter for any other currency.
Formula
KRW amount = CNY amount × rate
CNY amount = KRW amount ÷ rate
The rate is the value of 1 CNY in KRW from the snapshot of 2026-11-10. Both currencies are priced in US dollars in the same table, so the rate is the KRW per USD figure divided by the CNY per USD figure. A bank's buying and selling rates sit on either side of this mid-market figure.
Example
Two conversions at the saved rate:
800 CNY × 201.117 = 160,894 KRW
200,000 KRW ÷ 201.117 = 994.45 CNY

A direct market between won and yuan
Since December 2014, Seoul has had a direct trading market for the won and the yuan, so banks can exchange the two currencies without going through the US dollar. In China, the China Foreign Exchange Trade System includes the won among the currencies in its daily central parity announcement.
For visitors, the practical side is that Korean banks and registered money changers buy and sell yuan cash, and many shops in tourist areas accept Chinese mobile payment apps, which convert the won price for you at the provider's own rate.
Quick mental estimate
Multiply CNY by 200 for a rough KRW figure: 100 CNY → about 20,000 KRW. That factor is 0.56% below the saved rate.
Rates move every day, so recheck the rate line before you rely on a shortcut.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to declare yuan when I fly to Korea?
China requires a declaration for yuan cash above 20,000 yuan crossing its border. Korea Customs Service then asks for a declaration on arrival when all currencies and checks you carry exceed US$10,000 in total.
How do Korean banks quote the yuan?
Korean banks list the yuan per single unit, as won per 1 yuan, unlike the yen, which is quoted per 100. They show separate figures for cash and transfers, and the cash rates carry the wider spread.
Can I use yuan cash in Korean shops?
No; prices in Korea are charged in won. Change yuan at a bank or a registered money changer first, or pay by card or mobile app so the provider handles the conversion.
Is this the live exchange rate?
No. The page uses a snapshot of mid-market rates saved when the site was last updated, and the rate line shows its date. Your bank, card issuer or transfer service quotes its own rate, usually with a margin or fee, so the amount you actually receive will differ.
