About China's Public Holiday System
State Council Decree No. 795 increased China's statutory entitlement from 11 to 13 holiday days from 2025 by adding Lunar New Year's Eve to Spring Festival and a second Labour Day date. The law now provides four Spring Festival days, two Labour Day days and seven other dates across New Year, Qingming, Dragon Boat, Mid-Autumn and National Day.
The General Office normally turns some statutory dates into longer breaks by combining them with weekends and assigning compensatory Saturday or Sunday workdays. Those annual arrangements are not fixed by the holiday law. Until the official 2027 notice appears, travellers and businesses should use the statutory dates here as anchors and avoid assuming a specific eight-day Spring Festival or seven-day National Day closure.
