China has seven legal holidays in a year, including New Year’s Day, Chinese New Year (Spring Festival), Tomb Sweeping Day (Qingming Festival), May Day, Dragon Boat Festival (Double Fifth Festival), Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. “Legal” here means that you don’t have to work during holidays but you can get paid. If your company (公司) asks you to work during holidays, you should be paid three times. Chinese New Year Holiday and National Day Holiday are two long holidays in China. During these two holidays, people enjoy themselves. But hotel rooms, train tickets and air tickets will be in great need.
