24K, at ¥896.00 per gram, is the reference spot price rather than a common jewelry purity — it's too soft to wear day to day, which is why it's mostly relevant for bullion, coins, and valuing scrap. In China, 24K (pure gold) bullion bars and coins are the dominant form of gold ownership, bought primarily as an investment rather than jewelry. The lower the karat, the more the metal is alloyed with copper, silver, or other metals — which is also what produces rose gold and white gold from the same base purity.

What Affects the Gold Price in China?
Gold prices in China are influenced by both global and local factors. Understanding these helps you decide the best time to buy or sell.
Gold is priced globally in USD per troy ounce on the London Bullion Market (LBMA). Any change in the international spot price directly affects local rates.
Since gold is priced in USD, a weaker CNY means higher local gold prices, and a stronger CNY means lower prices — even if the international price stays flat.
Gold is seen as a hedge against inflation. When inflation rises or interest rates fall, investors move into gold, pushing prices higher.
Wars, political instability, and global crises drive demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, causing price spikes.
When central banks — including in China — buy or sell large gold reserves, it moves global supply and demand.
Import duties, GST/VAT, and government levies on gold in China are added on top of the international price, affecting the final retail rate.
None of the factors above are included in the spot rate shown on this page — it's a pure market benchmark, not a retail quote. Import duties on physical gold, local sales tax or VAT, and the making charges jewelers add for craftsmanship all sit on top of it. A reasonable rule of thumb is to treat this page's price as the floor, and expect a real-world quote from a dealer in China to run somewhat higher depending on the item and local market conditions.
Trading in Gram, Ounces, or Kilograms
Gold is priced and traded per gram, in line with the region's bullion-investment culture rather than the tola/baht conventions used further south and west. For larger transactions, bullion dealers and institutional buyers typically quote per kilogram, which today stands at ¥896,003.
