Public Holidays in China — 2027
China keeps a short official calendar in 2027: 6 public holidays in total, so each one carries real weight for planning.
2 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 4 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 4 before July and 2 after it — with January the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 98 days, from Wednesday, June 9, 2027 to Wednesday, September 15, 2027; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
2 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 0 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
China sits in Eastern Asia, is run from Beijing, pays in Yuan Renminbi, and has about 1,439.3M people planning around these same dates.
