Source and date notes

The dates follow the State Council's 2026 holiday arrangements. Each row is one day off within a break, including weekend days inside that break. The 33 dates span New Year, Spring Festival, Qingming, Labour Day, Dragon Boat, Mid-Autumn and National Day. Compensating weekend workdays are excluded. Dates follow the announced breaks rather than a separate list of substitute holidays.
