Long weekends in China 2027
Find practical 2027 holiday breaks using China’s usual weekend and national public holidays.
Best holiday breaks
No confirmed national three- or four-day breaks with at most one bridge day were identified. Regional or later-proclaimed holidays may create local opportunities.
Local calculation
The calculation uses Saturday and Sunday as the normal weekend. The State Council’s annual schedule can exchange weekend rest days for make-up working days around longer holiday periods. The 2026 calendar applies the published working-weekend adjustments; 2027 remains provisional until the official schedule is released.
Plan with the exact date
Use the official UTC+8 clock for international meetings. For working-day calculations, choose the exact year because China’s holiday and make-up workday pattern is announced annually.
Source and coverage
Annual calendar not final — provisional dates are not used by calculators. Mainland China's published 2026 rest periods and make-up working days. 2027 awaits its annual schedule.
