| Official
Chinese Holidays 2011 |
Below is the official public holiday Schedule
in 2011 announced by the State Council in China
Mainland:
Most Chinese holidays are based on the lunar calendar
(Like Easter in the West). Exceptions are usually
fixed days such as May Day and National Day, which
occur on the 1st of the month.
|
|
|
|
| Note: |
|
| 1. Both National Day (Golden
Week) and Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) have associated
one-week holidays, which you should consider to be 10-days
long. |
|
| 2. May holiday also
used to be a one-week break, but this was reduced in
2008 to allow for holidays on other special days such
as Qing Ming (Tomb Sweeping Day), and The Dragon Boat
Festival. |
|
| 3. May holiday
has returned to being a week long break in Guangdong
Province, mainly due to the 40 million migrant workers
who use this to travel home to see family - often located
several days journey away. |
