Warm weather and discounts of about 20-30 percent make southern Europe popular among long-haul travelers.
Ctrip's six-day trips to Japan's Hokkaido, Tokyo and Osaka have all dropped by 2,000 yuan since the holiday.
Japan is ideal between late February and mid-March, Li says.
"Japan visits boom in late March when the sakura are in full bloom. But visitors can still experience early blossoms in warmer parts of the country before the rush."
Most Cambodia getaways are around 2,000-3,000 yuan.
Ctrip's U.S. and Europe tours, which cost more than 10,000 yuan during the festival, are about 5,000-8,000 yuan through March and April.
Weeklong visits to Australia are 7,000 yuan, while eight-day trips to New Zealand dropped from 30,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan.
Domestic tours have also plummeted in price.
Agencies named Hainan, Yunnan, Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan and Hunan provinces, and Beijing and the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region as the best bargains for post-holiday travels.
