China's property price growth continued to slow down in November, according to statistics released by the country's top economic planner on Tuesday.

Property prices in 70 major Chinese cities rose 0.2 percent from a year earlier, or 1.4 percentage points lower than October, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said.

The growth rate was the lowest since the NDRC started to publish the figure in July, 2005.
