About China's Public Holiday Calendar
China's official holidays are re-scheduled every year by the State Council, typically by designating a weekend day before or after a holiday as a "make-up workday," turning a short holiday into a longer, uninterrupted block.
The 2026 Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) holiday runs for 9 days, making it the longest Spring Festival holiday in the history of the People's Republic of China; in exchange, Saturdays February 14 and 28 are designated as make-up workdays.
