At ¥7,600 a month this is the cheapest one-bedroom by rent per square metre among 51 comparable Huayang listings; genuinely the bottom of the market here. The renovation matches that low price with real quality rather than corner-cutting: herringbone flooring, an arched doorway into the kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom that step out to a small marble-tiled balcony. A built-in marble desk nook by the window adds a proper spot to work from home, something most one-beds this size don’t have.

A 7-minute walk to Zhongshan Park, within Changning.
