The State Council then announces longer breaks each year by moving weekend days, so some Saturdays or Sundays become make-up working days. Autonomous regions add their own days (e.g. Tibetan New Year), and some days apply only to certain groups — half a day for women on 8 March and for youths on 4 May.
