The official Chinese public holiday calendar for 2022 was released on 25 October.
The most important things to know:
All of the holidays based on the Chinese lunar calendar are slightly earlier this year than usual. This means that for a second year in a row, Mid-Autumn Festival will be a three-day holiday rather than included in an extended October “Golden Week” holiday.
The Beijing 2022 Olympics open on 4 February, in the middle of the Chinese New Year holiday.
The May 1 Labor Day holiday has been made a five-day holiday for the third year in a row, signalling a permanent change. It was originally extended from three days to four in 2019, then to five consecutive days in 2020.
