Official Chinese Hong Hong Holidays 2011

Below is the official public holiday Schedule in 2011 announced by the Hong Kong Government:

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.
