Not every place is good all year round - better to wait until the right time - even if it is more money...
While I'll concede that February is not an optimal time to visit China, summer is the peak travel period for pretty much everywhere in this country. Just look at the airfares, $2,000+ now... and, will almost certainly drop to $1,200 in October.
