Ziyuan County is transitioning from a sleepy scenic hub into a premium eco-tourism residential destination, driving purchase prices to a surprising ¥14,500/m². While the buy-to-rent yield remains compressed by a modest ¥36/m² average rent, new high-end developments near the Danxia landforms are attracting affluent remote workers. The market is currently tight on supply for modern apartments, making any new inventory highly competitive. Verdict: Ziyuan is a niche 'Luxury Buy' for lifestyle investors rather than a high-yield rental market.
