Talk:Hong Kong units of measurement

Untitled

I suggest this page may need updating by a local Hong Kong person. In my limited experience Hong Kong uses metric weights and length measures. The article implies that Imperial measures are widely used, for example the article section on Weight measures says "Both Chinese and Imperial weight units are used in Hong Kong." with no mention of metric units. This is wrong.

In my experience as a visitor to Hong Kong metric weights and distances seem to be used almost everywhere (with some Chinese measures in markets) The only remaining imperial measures I am aware of is in housing, which is still quoted in square feet, and with food which uses kilocalories (as well as kilojoules). Most weight and distance measurements are now metric.

For example food packaging (and nutrition information) uses metric weights, postage uses metric weights, roads and cars use metric distances.

move?

The present title, Hong Kong units of measurement, suggests that there are (and the article is primarily about) units unique to Hong Kong, which apparently has never been true. How about a move to something like Standards of measurement in Hong Kong? —Tamfang (talk) 17:46, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
