About this calendar

In 2026, China observes 33 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with National Day Holiday on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.

Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.

China's holiday calendar is rearranged every year by State Council notice. Long breaks like Spring Festival are built by swapping nearby weekends into working days, so a seven-day holiday usually costs one or two working Saturdays or Sundays. Check the adjusted calendar, not just the holiday list.
