Air ticket prices on some routes have plummeted, making traveling after the holiday more cost-effective. In late February, air tickets from Shanghai to Chongqing, Changsha, Dalian, Xi'an, Chengdu, Guiyang and other destinations are available for less than 100 yuan.

Air tickets from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to Sanya are mostly between 200 and 300 yuan, with the lowest being only 220 yuan. Ctrip data shows that from this year’s Spring Festival holiday to early March, the price of group tours in many destinations dropped by 30 to 50%.
