China Public Holidays
Official 2026 schedule and planning dates through 2029
Travel tip: Hotels and trains book out 2-3 weeks before major holidays. For National Day and Spring Festival, book at least 4 weeks ahead. Holiday periods can also mean higher rates, so plan early.
Accuracy note: The 2026 ranges and make-up working days follow the
official State Council schedule. For 2027-2029, only the festival dates are shown. Official leave periods and make-up working days have not been announced as of 22 July 2026. Lunar festival dates were checked against the
