Tourism destinations in China are still seeing sizable inflows of travelers, who choose to stagger their trips to avoid the peak season during the Spring Festival holiday and to benefit from better travel experience and lower costs.

In Taiyuan City, capital of north China's Shanxi Province, many potential tourists came to consult with travel agents to make a satisfactory travel plan. According to a travel agent, travel costs could be 20-30 percent lower during the post-Spring Festival off-season than the high tourist season.

"I did not travel during the Spring Festival holiday and now I can avoid the crowds. I want to visit the Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang and Xishuangbanna. Also prices these days are lower," said Yang Xubin, a potential tourist.

Travel agents said for travelers who intend to visit the hot destinations, their costs could be about 20 percent to 30 percent lower than the peak season.

This year, the southern part of China became a popular hotspot among off-season tourists, who said they are attracted to the region by the signature buildings and warmer weather there.

In Chaozhou City, south China's Guangdong Province, the iconic Guangji Bridge has been frequented by enthusiastic post-Spring Festival visitors.

"The buildings here are unique, and we've seldom seen such styles in Shanghai. The weather here is also warmer than Shanghai, which has been hit by a cold wave recently," said a tourist from the metropolis.

Travel agents in Huizhou City said Guangdong Province is typically a popular destination among travelers from north China, with some of them taking the opportunity to visit nearby Hong Kong and Macao.

"I am from north China and I came to Huizhou to visit my relatives. I also want to travel to Hong King and Macao as there are fewer travelers during this period of time," said a tourist surnamed Zhang.
