China Public Holidays 2026 List
Each row separates the complete official holiday period from its statutory paid dates and adjusted working dates. This prevents a multi-day break from being mistaken for the statutory-day count.

China Adjusted Working Days 2026
How Adjusted Working Days and Working Weekends Work
China can connect statutory holidays with nearby weekends to form longer official breaks. The annual arrangement may then designate a Saturday or Sunday as a working day. For office schedules, payroll, appointments, and transport planning, do not assume every weekend beside a holiday remains a rest day.

How Many Public Holidays Are There in China in 2026?
China has seven nationwide holiday categories for all citizens. Under the current rules, those categories contain 13 statutory paid holiday dates. The 2026 annual arrangement expands them into seven official holiday periods covering 33 calendar days in total, but that period count includes weekends and linked rest days. It should not be read as 33 additional paid statutory dates.

Planning Around China Public Holidays 2026
Spring Festival and Golden Week Planning
Spring Festival runs from February 15 to 23, while the National Day holiday runs from October 1 to 7. Confirm the linked working weekends before setting leave, transport, supplier, or customer-service dates; the longest break is not simply the statutory date range.
Banks, Schools, China Post, and Stock Market Calendars
The national holiday schedule is the starting point, but service calendars can differ. Check bank holidays, school calendars, postal schedules, and market holidays for operating hours, term dates, delivery changes, or exchange closures.
