You may go directly to the ticket office in the street to try your luck. I bought discount air ticket from them once. But they don't always have discount tickets, it depends on the time and the route.

Use the link at the top of the page and you are sure to get great deals too. Trick is not to buy too early, certainly no more than a month in advance. If you do a check on prices a week from today and the then have a look at fares say three months from today you will most likely not find them discounted.

Once you know which flight you want to take and about what the price you should pay for it, then go to any travel agency or Airport ticket counter and ask for that flight. You may even get it cheaper. I have sometimes found this will happen. It is rare for flights to be fully booked a week in advance unless there is something special happening.

GUEST01124 #7,

Which airline or website you bought ? I just checked(elong.net) and it cost at least 990 RMB all in.

Is it cheaper to buy online or from a travel office for domestic flights ?
