I am wanting to fly to six or seven cities in China and was hoping there may be some air line pass or multiple stop air fare available. Any one know of a good way to 'fly for less' in China?

Actually the discounting is as likely to happen when you turn up at the airport as booking early.
Middle of the day flights are actually much more likely to have discounted seats than in the morning or evening.
On single airline routes, the chances of discounts are much smaller.
At work, every flight is discounted, my local travel agent gets discounted tickets most times, but when I am away from home, it's like one time in every 20 that I get a discount and that's usually only 10%.
There are no airline passes in China.

If you are traveling to many cities in China by flight it is better to contact with a travel agent. There is not a air pass in China but many airlines have special discounts for connected flights which means beijing-shanghai-xian may be much cheaper than beijing-shanghai plus shanghai-xian. Various combination of flights are available, but in this case sometimes you have to change your travelling time, and order of the cities you will travel, besides some fligts might be in the early morning or late night.
