Short-term rental regulations vary by jurisdiction in the Chongqing area. I don't have reliable data on short-term rental regulations or enforcement realities for Chongqing, Dazu, or Hechuan specifically. China's STR regulations vary significantly by city and enforcement is inconsistent. These cities likely fall under general Chinese hospitality laws requiring business licenses, but specific STR rules, caps, and actual enforcement practices aren't documented in available sources. Always verify current regulations with local authorities and obtain necessary permits before operating a short-term rental.

Such rapid expansion without corresponding demand growth points to a market struggling to absorb new listings, leading to severe yield compression.

Avoid launching during peak season when established listings dominate, or slow months (August-October) when gaining traction is harder.
