China announced on Tuesday that two days will be added to the public holiday calendar next year, taking the total to 13.
The move does not create new holidays but extends two existing ones, including Lunar New Year, the country’s biggest festival.
As of next year, Spring Festival will be extended from three days to four with the addition of Lunar New Year’s Eve.
The traditional Labour Day holiday on May 1 will also be extended with the addition of the following day.
Apart from public holidays, Chinese workers are typically given between five to 15 days’ annual leave, which some workers take after major public holidays such as Lunar New Year or National Day in October to extend their time off.
