The first flight, with over 200 passengers on board, landed in Guangzhou in southern China on Sunday morning, while another three flights from Paris arrived in Shanghai.

Tourists recalled what they saw following the attacks, saying there were more police on the streets and stricter security checks at airports and railway stations.

"The traffic is normal. I didn't see any delays at the international airport, but I saw that they have enhanced border checks and many people were standing in line."

Stats from China National Tourism Administration show that nearly 1,300 Chinese tourists were in Paris on Saturday.

China Southern Airlines' flights to Paris are now in normal operations without any delays or cancellations.
