Details

All lands are owned by the government but the land use right can be sold to other bodies.

The http://www.mlr.gov.cn/tdsc/ website publishes all information regarding the tender and award of land use right. The website provides information on land size but it does not provide detailed information on land boarders.

The information on land boarders can only be obtained in paper form from the local government office and the local government has its own criteria on who can obtain such document (e.g. whether you are a legal person of a company who will bid for the land use right)
