Schedule of holidays for 2012 released

By Liang Yiwen | December 7, 2011, Wednesday | Print Edition
PEOPLE need to work only 17 days next month thanks to the New Year's Day holiday and the Spring Festival holiday. Moreover, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday will overlap next year to form an eight-day holiday.

The State Council yesterday released this calendar for public holidays in 2012:

New Year's Day holiday break will run from January 1-3, but people need to work on December 31 (Saturday).

Spring Festival holiday will run from January 22-28, but January 21 (Saturday) and January 29 (Sunday) will be made working days to compensate for the long holiday.

Qingming Festival will be April 2-4 with March 31 (Saturday) and April 1 (Sunday) as working days.

The Labor Day holiday will run from April 29 to May 1 with April 28 (Saturday) as the working day.

Dragon Boat Festival break will be from June 22-24.

Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday will overlap next year from September 30 to October 7 - eight days in total.

But people will be required to work on September 29 (Saturday) to make up for it.
