🇨🇳 Estimated Schedule

China Public Holidays 2027

Best estimates for China's 2027 public holidays, based on fixed dates and historical lunar-calendar patterns — not an official confirmed schedule.

Important: China's State Council only announces the official public holiday schedule (including exact golden-week and makeup-workday dates) in the autumn or winter before the year in question. Everything below except the three fixed-date holidays is an estimate — check an official source before booking travel or business around these dates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these dates official?

No. Only the fixed-date holidays (January 1, May 1, October 1) are certain. All lunar-calendar-based holidays and the exact "golden week" makeup-workday schedule are estimates based on historical patterns and the lunar calendar, not an official government announcement. Always confirm with an official source closer to the date.

When will China announce the exact 2027 holiday schedule?

China's State Council typically announces the following year's official public holiday schedule (including any adjusted workdays around golden weeks) in November or December of the preceding year. For 2027, that means the confirmed schedule likely won't be published until roughly November-December 2026.

What is a "golden week"?

A "golden week" (黄金周) is a stretch of consecutive public holiday days — typically 7 days — created by combining a statutory holiday with adjacent weekends and "shifted" workdays (where a weekend is worked in exchange for an extra day off elsewhere). China's two main golden weeks are Spring Festival and National Day.

Do these apply to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau?

No. Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan each have their own separate public holiday schedules, set by their own governments, which differ from mainland China's in both dates observed and which holidays are included. Check each region's own official calendar separately.
