Discounts multiply during gap between holidays

The National Day marked the last golden holiday this year, but the best is just beginning for those who have chosen to use their paid vacation later.

Many travelers are taking time off and traveling after the holiday to enjoy lower prices and quality tours.

"It would be a good time to travel from now to mid-December since most tourists will not choose to be on the road till the New Year and Spring Festival holidays," says Shao Jihong, senior director of air ticket department with China's biggest online travel agency Ctrip.
