Non-working days in China for 2022

Year of the Tiger

On 25.10.2021. The General Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China has released the 2022 schedule of holidays and non-working days. The people's governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, all ministries and commissions of the State Council, and all institutions directly under the central government issue:

Proclamation:
With the approval of the State Council, special holiday date arrangements are hereby notified for:

New Year,
Spring holiday,
Qingming Festival,
Labor Day,
Dragon Boat Festival,
Mid-Autumn Festival and
Statehood Day 2022.

According to the Chinese calendar, the New Year falls on February 1, 2022. The year of the Tiger begins on that day.
Please note that some Saturdays and Sundays are often marked as additional official working days in China to compensate for long holiday breaks.

Thus, we have working days on January 29 (Saturday), January 30 (Sunday), as well as October 8 (Saturday), October 9 (Sunday) to partially compensate for the seven days off for the Spring Festival and National Day .
Private companies in China, however, have the right to determine their own schedule by expanding the state recommendations, which means that non-working days last much longer.
So our company will not work during the Chinese New Year period from January 28. until 10.02.2022.
