Baiyun is currently undergoing a massive structural shift from a logistics-heavy suburb to a premium residential powerhouse anchored by the Baiyun New Town CBD. While the market saw a supply surge in previous years, 2026 marks a period of stabilization as infrastructure projects like Metro Line 12 and the expanded Railway Station reach full utility. Our verdict: Baiyun remains Guangzhou’s premier 'value play' for buyers priced out of Zhujiang New Town who still demand mountain views and high-tier amenities.
