Chinese public holidays and major festivals for 2026–2030 — with Golden Week dates, travel impact ratings, zodiac years, and a checker to see whether your travel dates clash with a holiday. Beyond 2026 the exact State Council arrangement is provisional (the Council confirms each year in autumn); we show the astronomical date at the centre of the typical window.

Disclaimer

Exact dates of lunar holidays shift annually. Public holiday arrangements (工作日调休) are confirmed by the State Council each autumn for the following year. Entries beyond 2026 use the astronomical lunar date at the centre of a typical 3-day window; the exact State Council arrangement will differ and is flagged provisional.

Provisional dates (marked accordingly) are estimates based on typical patterns. The State Council publishes official dates each autumn for the following year. Always verify current-year dates with an official source before booking transport or accommodation around holidays.

Data verified: 15 July 2026. This tool is updated periodically; check official sources before making decisions.
