China Makes Public Holidays Overhaul Official

Sources: Government of China and China public holidays. Earlier today, the Chinese government made official, without any amendments, its draft plan to overhaul its public holidays system. The May Day Golden Week public holiday will be replaced by a single day public holiday, on May 1, but 3 traditional Chinese festivals will become 1-day public holidays. The Lunar New Year public holiday will remain a golden week public holiday, but it will begin one day earlier, on Chinese New Year's Eve. For more details, see our post of November 9.
