  Land transactions refer to economic relationships formed during the circulation of land rights, primarily involving exchanges of land ownership(所有权), usage rights(使用权), leasing rights(租赁权), and mortgage rights(抵押权). In China, as a critical resource, land acquisition, reserves, and transactions are uniformly managed by the state.

  Through decades of exploration and practice since the reform and opening-up, China's land transaction market has significantly expanded, with notable shifts in land use objectives.

  Research indicates:

  • From 2003 to 2013, China experienced rapid growth in land transfers, followed by a slowdown in total transfer volume post-2013 while land transfer revenues continued to rise;
  • During 2003-2018, the composition of land transfers exhibited distinct trends: proportions of land allocated for roads/transportation facilities and green spaces/squares increased markedly. Residential, commercial, and public management/service facility land transfers remained stable, while industrial, logistics/warehousing, and utility land transfers showed decelerating growth and contraction tendencies.

  The evolution of land use and transaction patterns reflects socioeconomic conditions. Simultaneously, as land represents a non-renewable resource increasingly scarce amid urbanization and economic development, it substantially influences China's pillar industry – real estate. CnOpenData presents comprehensive China Land Transaction Data covering leasing, mortgaging, and transfer activities to support related research.
