Gold Price in CNY

// Frequently asked

• What is the gold price in CNY today?

  Live gold price updates every 30 seconds at the top of this page. Sourced from a live oracle stream cross-validated against a continuous spot reference. Prices shown are metal value only and exclude any retailer margin or taxes (varies by jurisdiction — mainland China VAT differs from Hong Kong's tax-free regime).
• What is Chuk Kam (純金) gold?

  Chuk Kam (純金, 'pure gold') is the Hong Kong + South China retail standard for 24K gold jewelry — minimum 99.0% purity, often marked 990 or 999. Hong Kong's Goldsmiths' Society (HKGS) regulates the standard. Mainland China uses similar 999 (24K) and 990 (22K-equivalent) hallmarks.
• How much is 1 tael of gold in CNY today?

  1 tael (Hong Kong / Macao standard, 司馬兩) = 37.4290 grams. The /tael toggle at the top of this page switches the live price display from per-gram to per-tael. The tael is still the primary trading unit at the Chinese Gold + Silver Exchange Society in Hong Kong.
• How is the gold price in CNY calculated?

  International spot price (USD per troy ounce) converted to CNY via current FX, divided by 31.1035 (grams per troy ounce), then adjusted for purity (24K = 99.9%, 22K = 91.6%). The Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) is the mainland-China benchmark; Hong Kong follows the Chinese Gold + Silver Exchange Society (CGSE).
• What is the difference between SGE and CGSE prices?

  Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) is the mainland-China physical gold benchmark — onshore CNY pricing, regulated by the People's Bank of China. Chinese Gold + Silver Exchange Society (CGSE) is the Hong Kong physical gold market — offshore HKD/USD pricing. Mainland and Hong Kong gold prices can diverge meaningfully due to capital controls + import duties.
• When are the biggest gold-buying festivals in China?

  Chinese New Year (Spring Festival, late January or February) is the largest gold-buying season — both for gift-giving and for the year's zodiac collectible coins. Mid-Autumn Festival (September) and Singles' Day (November 11) also drive elevated retail volume.
• What is gold's role in Chinese household savings?

  Gold remains a significant household savings asset across Greater China, particularly during periods of property-market stress or capital-control friction. Bank-channel gold accumulation accounts (e.g. ICBC Ruyi Gold) and physical bullion bars are the dominant retail instruments.
