Long weekends and bridge days in China
A long weekend is three or more days off in a row made by a nationwide holiday and the weekend. A bridge day is a working day with a day off on both sides: one leave day there joins a holiday to the weekend, or two holidays to each other.
Long weekends (2)
- Friday 1 January to Sunday 3 January 2027: 3 days off, with New Year's Day.
- Friday 1 October to Sunday 3 October 2027: 3 days off, with National Day.
Bridge days (0)
No working day in 2027 sits between two days off, so there is no bridge day by this rule.
Regional holidays are left out of both lists: they depend on where the employee works.
Regional holidays
Every public holiday in China applies nationwide, so one list covers all employees there.
