    Questions

    When is Chinese New Year 2027 and how long do factories close?

    Chinese New Year's Day 2027 is Sat 6 Feb 2027. In Mainland China the official holiday runs Fri 5 Feb 2027 to Sat 13 Feb 2027 (9 days off, with make-up workdays on Sun 31 Jan 2027 and Sun 14 Feb 2027). Taiwan is off Thu 4 Feb 2027 to Wed 10 Feb 2027 (7 days, official). Factories: typical pattern, varies by factory and region (dminorstudio guidance, not an official figure). Production winds down about 7 to 14 days before the holiday and ramps back up over 7 to 21 days after, so plan for reduced output from about Fri 22 Jan 2027 to Sat 6 Mar 2027.

    When is Golden Week 2026 and 2027?

    Golden Week 2026 (National Day, 国庆节) is Thu 1 Oct 2026 to Wed 7 Oct 2026, 7 days off in Mainland China, with make-up workdays on Sun 20 Sep 2026 and Sat 10 Oct 2026. Golden Week 2027 is Fri 1 Oct 2027 to Thu 7 Oct 2027, 7 days off, with make-up workdays on Sun 26 Sep 2027 and Sat 9 Oct 2027. Expect busy trains, flights and hotels across China that week, and slow replies from Mainland offices and factories.

    When is the Canton Fair 2027?

    The 2027 Canton Fair dates are not announced yet. Spring session (141st): expected mid-April to early May 2027 (dates not announced yet). Autumn session (142nd): expected mid-October to early November 2027 (dates not announced yet). The expected windows follow the pattern of recent sessions: the 2026 autumn session ran Thu 15 Oct 2026 to Wed 4 Nov 2026 in Guangzhou, in three phases. Check cantonfair.org.cn for the official announcement.

    What is a make-up workday (调休)?

    A make-up workday (调休, tiaoxiu) is a Saturday or Sunday that becomes a normal working day in Mainland China, so a holiday can be joined into a longer break. Offices, factories and government agencies work on these days. In 2026 the make-up workdays are Sun 4 Jan 2026, Sat 14 Feb 2026, Sat 28 Feb 2026, Sat 9 May 2026, Sun 20 Sep 2026, Sat 10 Oct 2026. In 2027 the make-up workdays are Sun 31 Jan 2027, Sun 14 Feb 2027, Sat 8 May 2027, Sun 26 Sep 2027, Sat 9 Oct 2027. Our calendar feeds include them as "Working day (make-up for ...)" events.

    Are Taiwan holidays the same as Mainland China?

    No. Taiwan follows the calendar published by the Directorate-General of Personnel Administration (DGPA), and it differs from the Mainland. Lunar New Year 2027 in Taiwan is Thu 4 Feb 2027 to Wed 10 Feb 2027, while the Mainland legal holiday is Fri 5 Feb 2027 to Sat 13 Feb 2027. Taiwan National Day is 10 October, not 1 October, and Taiwan has holidays the Mainland does not, such as Peace Memorial Day (和平紀念日). Taiwan has no make-up workdays in 2026 or 2027; when a holiday falls on a weekend, the day off moves to the nearest weekday instead.
