This page answers one question: is today a public holiday in China? It takes today's date in the China timezone (Asia/Shanghai) and checks it against the official holiday calendars we publish for China (2025–2028), every one sourced from government announcements. The status is computed live when the page loads, so the answer is correct whenever you open it — and the date rolls over at local midnight, not ours.
Planning around the next day off? The full China 2026 calendar lists all 7 holidays with their exact dates and long-weekend layout, and the China country hub links every year we publish. Each year page also offers free ICS, CSV and PDF downloads, so the whole calendar can live in Google, Apple or Outlook — and a subscription picks up any official revision automatically.

Frequently asked questions
How does this page decide whether today is a holiday in China?+
It reads today's date in the China timezone (Asia/Shanghai) and compares it with the official China holiday calendars we publish (2025–2028). If today falls inside any holiday window — including between the start and end of a multi-day break — the page says yes. The check runs live on every visit, and the date flips at local midnight.
How many public holidays does China have in 2026?+
China has 7 public holidays in 2026. The matching year calendar lists every one, flagging those that fall on a weekend and any substitute days granted for them.
What are the first and last public holidays of 2026 in China?+
The 2026 calendar opens with New Year's Day on Jan 1 and closes with National Day Golden Week, ending Oct 7.
Does China have public holidays that span multiple days?+
Yes. The longest in 2026 is Spring Festival (Chinese New Year), running Feb 15 to Feb 23 — 9 days. This page treats the whole range as time off, not just the first day.
Where do the dates come from?+
Every date comes from an official China government notice or gazette, linked one by one at the bottom of the country year page, and is cross-checked against a second independent source. We update the page when a new arrangement is published.
Can I add China's holidays to my calendar?+
Yes. The China year page offers free ICS, CSV and PDF files that import into Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar, and subscribing to the ICS URL keeps your calendar updated if the government revises a date.
