Hong Kong Public Holidays
Hong Kong distinguishes between general holidays, observed by banks, schools and government, and the statutory holidays granted to employees under the Employment Ordinance. The calendar mixes Western and Christian dates with traditional Chinese festivals set by the lunar calendar, so many dates move each year.

How public holidays work in Hong Kong
When a general holiday falls on a Sunday, the following day is normally designated a holiday in its place. Public holidays are the days most workplaces and schools in Hong Kong 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.
