Tianhe remains the undisputed crown jewel of Guangzhou, but the extreme scarcity of new residential land in Zhujiang New Town has pushed high-end demand toward the Tianhe Intelligence Valley and eastern expansions.

My verdict: Tianhe is no longer a playground for short-term speculators, but it remains the ultimate fortress for long-term capital preservation in Southern China.
