How the working week works in China
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.
