China's Holiday Schedule for the Rest of 2024

Vincent R. Vinci theBeijinger 2024-03-03


With the Chinese New Year holiday all done and gone, it's time to start looking ahead to all the other holidays in store this year.

Expect the holidays to pick up again in April, with a great many three-day weekends (woo-hoo!), with a lot of weekend working days (boo-hoo!) thrown in without any longer holidays 'til October though. In the meantime, read on and plan the rest of your time off this year accordingly!


April 2024: Tomb-Sweeping Festival
Thursday, Apr 4 to Saturday, Apr 6
Make-up work day: Sun, Apr 7

Tomb-Sweeping Day was on a Wednesday last year, but it's back to a somewhat normal holiday schedule this year, with the holiday falling on a Thursday, but instead of a full four-day weekend, Sunday is an allotted make-up day, making for another six-day work week.


May 2024: May Day
Wednesday, May 1 to Sunday, May 5
Make-up work days: Sun, Apr 28; Sat, May 11

International Labor day arrives on a Wednesday for 2024 and goes through the whole weekend. But there’s no escape from make-up work, with a day before the holiday (Sunday, Apr 28) and one after (Saturday, May 11).


June 2024: Dragon Boat Festival
Saturday, Jun 8 to Monday, Jun 10
Make-up work days: None

One of the few holidays with no make-up work days tied to it. No work on Monday!


September 2024: Mid-Autumn Festival
Sunday, Sep 15 to Tuesday, Sep 17
Make-up work days: Sat, Sep 14

Mid-Autumn Festival is no longer close to National Holiday on the lunar calendar, so it’s back to the normal three-day weekend schedule. This time around, though, it’s Sunday to Tuesday off, with a make-up work day on the Saturday before the holiday.


October 2024: National Day
Tuesday, Oct 1 to Monday, Oct 7
Make-up work day: Sun, Sep 29; Sat, Oct 12

National Day falls on a Tuesday in 2024, which means the holiday will run until Sunday the following week. There’s a make-up working day prior to the holiday on Sunday, Sep 29 and on the Saturday after (Oct 12).

Check out the full calendar below and save yourself a copy!
