Lunar-calendar holiday dates for 2036 are not published yet, so this list only shows fixed-date holidays.

## **How Public Holidays Work in China**

China has 13 statutory holiday days (since 2025). 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.
