China Public Holidays
Public holidays in China are set each year by the State Council. Several of the main festivals follow the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar, so their dates in the Gregorian calendar shift from year to year.

How public holidays work in China
Adjacent weekend days are often designated as working days so that holidays such as Spring Festival and National Day can be combined into longer continuous breaks. Public holidays are the days most workplaces and schools in China treat as days off, so they shape when people travel, book time away and plan around childcare. Religious holidays and wider observances sit alongside them. They are not always days off, but they are dates many households still mark. Each year page lists the public and religious holidays in full, and OneHaus keeps the complete set current in your shared home calendar.
