KRW to CNY Converter (Korean Won to Chinese Yuan)
1 KRW = 0.00497223 CNY at the saved rate of 2026-11-10. See what a won budget is worth in Chinese yuan before you order from a supplier or travel.
Converting won (KRW) to yuan (CNY) moves from a whole-number currency to one counted in jiao and fen, where 1 yuan equals 10 jiao or 100 fen. The yuan, also called renminbi, is issued by the People's Bank of China, and its price tags use either ¥ or the character 元.
Korean small businesses buying stock from Chinese manufacturers and wholesale sites, and shoppers ordering directly from Chinese platforms, convert won to yuan to read prices listed in yuan. Travelers bound for Shanghai, Beijing or Qingdao, students heading to Chinese universities, and Chinese workers in Korea sending wages home to their families need the same figure.
How to use this tool
- Type an amount in KRW to see it in CNY, or type in the CNY 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
CNY amount = KRW amount × rate
KRW amount = CNY amount ÷ rate
The rate is the value of 1 KRW in CNY from the snapshot of 2026-11-10. Both currencies are priced in US dollars in the same table, so the rate is the CNY per USD figure divided by the KRW 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:
1,000,000 KRW × 0.00497223 = 4,972.23 CNY
300 CNY ÷ 0.00497223 = 60,335 KRW

Telling yuan prices from yen prices
The yuan and the Japanese yen both use the ¥ sign, so "¥100" on a sourcing site can mean either currency. Look for 元, RMB or CNY next to the amount for yuan, and 円 or JPY for yen; mixing the two up gives a badly wrong won total.
Wholesale listings on Chinese sites are often priced per piece with a minimum order quantity, and shipping and buying-agent fees come on top, so convert the full yuan total rather than the unit price alone.
Cash for a trip to mainland China
Most payments in Chinese cities are made by scanning QR codes with a mobile payment app, but some yuan cash helps where foreign cards are not accepted. At the border, China expects a customs declaration for more than 20,000 yuan in cash, and for foreign banknotes worth over US$5,000.
Quick mental estimate
Divide KRW by 200 for a rough CNY figure: 100,000 KRW → about 500 CNY. That shortcut 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
How do I send won to a Chinese bank account?
Banks and licensed remittance companies in Korea send transfers to China, converting your won to yuan or to US dollars along the way. Ask for the exchange rate, the sending fee and any receiving-bank charge before you confirm, then compare the yuan amount with this page.
What do jiao and fen mean on a receipt?
They are tenths and hundredths of a yuan. A price of 12.50 yuan is 12 yuan and 5 jiao; in everyday speech people say kuai for yuan and mao for jiao.
Can I pay a Chinese supplier in won?
Rarely. Chinese suppliers usually invoice in yuan or US dollars, so your bank converts the won when you pay, using its transfer selling rate, which sits above the mid-market figure.
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.
