Banks

Financial-market, settlement and branch schedules require the relevant institution notice; public holidays do not establish identical banking closures.

Schools

School terms, summer/winter breaks and institution-specific dates are not represented as national public holidays.

Practical planning

Spring Festival and National Day have heavy travel demand. Check the official annual arrangement and working-weekend notice before booking. Future festival dates do not establish a longer closure period.
