About Dragon Boat Festival (Official Closure Day)
Mainland China has 13 statutory holiday days: New Year 1; Spring Festival 4 (Lunar New Year eve and lunar days 1-3); Qingming 1; Labour Day 2 (May 1-2); Dragon Boat 1; Mid-Autumn 1; National Day 3 (October 1-3). This is distinct from the annual closure calendar, which also includes weekends and adjusted days off. Hong Kong, Macao, regional ethnic holidays and group-specific half-days are outside this national calendar.
This is an official closure-day identity, not an additional statutory day. Only officially published closure dates are represented.
The shared long-weekend planner assumes a regular weekend and cannot subtract officially adjusted working weekends. Its calculated breaks are illustrative, not the official China work calendar. For 2026, January 4, February 14 and 28, May 9, September 20 and October 10 are WORKING DAYS. In particular, the official New Year break ends January 3, not January 4; the Spring Festival break starts February 15, not February 14. None of these six working dates is stored as a holiday. Calendar/ICS downloads contain only listed holiday or closure dates; they do not encode working-day overrides. PDF sources and page notes explain the adjustments.
