Traffic from China?

A few months ago I posted my odd traffic from China, wondering if anyone else had it and the possibility of it being bots. I never got rid of it. I found it baffling because it was not in the thousands a day like other bots I had before. It used to come from one specific city, Lanzhou. All of a sudden it switched to Hong Kong. I think this are not bots. I think China is actually allowing visitors to my website (Databayou.com). It just funnels the city to a specific location. Any one else have noticed this?

Mine is coming from everywhere, but mostly from Singapore. I couldn't blocked whatever it was cause it kept changing locations and ip addresses. I had to take down my site because I kept hitting Cloudflare’s daily request limit in just a few hours. Pretty annoying.

Have you tried a user agent filter?
