Chinese Holidays
Traditional Chinese Festivals 2008 to 2015
These festivals occur regularly throughout the year. Some are Public Holidays, but most are not. This page does not include many modern Chinese Public Holidays, which are detailed elsewhere in this section.

Chinese Festivals all follow the lunar calendar, although some such as Winter Solstice can be interpreted according to the Sun.
