Fly round-trip from LAX to Shenzhen, China, for $497 on Air China

You can fly round-trip from LAX to Shenzhen, China, on Air China from $497, including all taxes and fees.

Shenzhen, just north of Hong Kong, has experienced enormous growth since it was designated a special economic zone, or SEZ, in the late 1970s as part of economic reform. Before its designation, it was a town of 30,000, but the designation played a key role in an economic boon that saw its metropolitan area grow to more than 10 million by 2016, according to World Population Review.

The fare, subject to availability, is for departures Mondays through Thursdays through May 10. You must stay at least seven nights but not more than six months.

You must buy your ticket at least seven days in advance of your departure.
