China has revised “National Public Holidays and Commemorative Days Holiday Policy” in November 2024, starting from January 1, 2025, all citizens will have an additional 2 days off. This includes 1 additional day for both the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) and Labor Day.
Accordingly, the holiday and adjustment principles have been further optimized and improved. Except in special circumstances, the Spring Festival holiday will begin on the eve of the lunar New Year and last for 8 days; the National Day holiday will last for 7 days starting from October 1; Labor Day will be 5 days off; the New Year’s Day, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival will each have 3 days off (if the holiday falls on a Wednesday, only that day will be a holiday); the National Day holiday will be extended to 8 days if it coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In accordance with these principles, the specific holiday arrangements for 2025, including New Year’s Day, Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day, are as follows.
