How to use bridge days in Hong Kong
A bridge day (sometimes called a sandwiched day) is a working day that sits between a public holiday and a weekend. By taking it as paid annual leave, you connect the holiday to the weekend and create a longer uninterrupted break.
For example, if a public holiday falls on a Thursday, taking Friday off gives you Thursday + Friday + Saturday + Sunday — four consecutive days using only one day of leave.
In Hong Kong 2027, there are 11 bridge day opportunities highlighted in the table above. The biggest gain is around Lunar New Year & Second day of Lunar New Year & Third day of Lunar New Year: take Friday off to turn a 4-day break into 5 consecutive days using only 1 day of annual leave.
