China Public Holidays 2027
China has 15 national public holidays in 2027, starting with New Year's Day on 1 January 2027 and ending with National Day on 3 October 2027. Two well placed days of leave buy 8 days away from work in 2027, because two holidays sit exactly one working day from a weekend.

February is the densest month for holidays, which tends to shape travel and shopping patterns. Six of them fall on a Saturday or Sunday in 2027, which is worth checking if you are counting on days off from work.

We track national holidays only, leaving out regional variations, so the list stays consistent and easy to compare with other countries.
Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does China have in 2027?
China has 15 national public holidays in 2027. The first is New Year's Day on 1 January 2027 and the last is National Day on 3 October 2027.
What is the first public holiday of 2027 in China?

When is New Year celebrated in China in 2027?
In 2027, New Year's Day in China is on 1 January 2027.
Are regional holidays included for China?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of China are listed separately on the China holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the China holiday dates change from 2027 to the next year?
Some of them do. Six of the 15 holidays in 2027 sit on a moving rule (lunisolar calendar), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Spring Festival on 5 February 2027, Spring Festival on 6 February 2027 and Spring Festival on 7 February 2027, plus 3 more.
How far ahead is the China calendar actually fixed?
Through 2026. The General Office of the State Council publishes the holiday arrangement for the following year in early November, including which weekends are worked to bridge the golden weeks, so anything past that is computed from the rules in force rather than read off an official list. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for China.
Which China holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2027. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The China holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.

Knowing the dates is half the question. The other half is what they add up to: which of them create a long weekend and how many working days the year leaves. The 2027 worldwide overview compares every country on holiday count and weekend overlap, and the country index ranks all 44 of them. The same figures are available as JSON, and the dates as a calendar file.
