Check the official 2026 public holiday dates and make-up work day schedules to easily plan your itinerary in advance.
Mainland-China holiday breaks and make-up workdays. The 2026 schedule was checked against the State Council notice; other years use library records and were not checked in this review. Remaining days use China time. Break totals include connected weekends, not just statutory holidays. Official notice
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This calendar is set to 2026 and presents the seven holiday periods and adjusted workdays in the State Council General Office notice. In the calendar, “Rest” marks dates in a holiday period and “Work” marks a compensatory workday identified by the notice.
| Holiday | Rest dates | Compensatory workday(s) |
|---|---|---|
| New Year’s Day | Jan 1–3 (3 days) | Jan 4 |
| Spring Festival | Feb 15–23 (9 days) | Feb 14, Feb 28 |
| Qingming Festival | Apr 4–6 (3 days) | None listed |
| Labor Day | May 1–5 (5 days) | May 9 |
| Dragon Boat Festival | Jun 19–21 (3 days) | None listed |
| Mid-Autumn Festival | Sep 25–27 (3 days) | None listed |
| National Day | Oct 1–7 (7 days) | Sep 20, Oct 10 |
The notice lists 33 calendar dates across the seven holiday periods and six adjusted workdays. The notice is the source for the schedule; the calendar view helps locate these labels by month and weekday.
Mid-Autumn Festival runs September 25–27, while National Day begins October 1 and runs through October 7. September 28–30 fall between those listed periods, so do not treat the two holiday blocks as one continuous break. The notice also marks September 20 and October 10 as workdays; both are useful to flag when arranging travel, coverage, or deadlines.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
The initial selection is 2026. The year selector offers years from 2020 through 2030; use 2026 when checking this official notice.
The list groups dates by holiday. The year calendar places the same marks on a month grid, which makes intervening workdays easier to spot.
Check each holiday period and any compensatory workday. A weekend marked as a workday should not be treated as a rest day for this schedule.
Copy relevant dates into a personal or team calendar, then confirm any organization-specific roster before making commitments.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
A team coordinating with mainland China can mark the rest periods and compensatory workdays before setting handoffs, support coverage, or delivery dates.
A traveler can use the official periods as planning anchors, then confirm transport availability, ticketing, and local opening hours with the relevant providers.
Families can compare the national schedule with a school calendar and each caregiver’s workplace roster before arranging childcare or visits.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
The listed dates describe mainland China’s 2026 holiday arrangements in the cited central notice. They do not calculate an individual’s paid annual leave, employer benefits, shift schedule, school calendar, or local service opening hours. Calendar totals count dates labeled by the data shown; they are not a measure of personal leave entitlement. Confirm detailed attendance and coverage with the relevant employer, school, or service provider.
