Li or ri (Chinese: 里, lǐ, or 市里, shìlǐ), also known as the Chinese mile, [citation needed] is a traditional Chinese unit of distance. The li has varied considerably over time but was usually about one third of an English mile and now has a standardized length of a half- kilometer (500 meters or 1,640 feet or 0.311 miles ).

In the engineering field, traditional units are rounded up to metric units. For example, the Chinese word 絲 (T) or 丝 (S) sī is used to express 0.01 mm.
