How China sets its annual holiday schedule
Each year China's State Council (国务院) publishes the next year's holiday arrangement (放假安排), usually around November or December. That notice sets the exact days off for each festival and the weekend make-up workdays (调休 / 补班) used to extend them. The 2027 schedule is therefore expected in late 2026.
Until that notice is released, only the fixed festival anchor dates below are known for 2027. The extended multi-day breaks and the make-up workdays are still pending and are not shown here.
