Its the most wonderful time of the year, dear readers! And no, we arent talking about Christmas, were talking about the release of the 2020 public holiday schedule (aka holiday planning time).
The official holiday schedule for next year was released by the General Office of the State Council earlier today. This is not a drill!
One major change to next years schedule: Mid-Autumn Fest falls on National Day in 2020, which means both festivals have been combined into one mega weeklong holiday, from October 1 to 8.
Another notable adjustment to next years schedule: May Day 2020 is now stretched across five days. Plan accordingly!
Now, without further ado, here are your 2020 public holidays...
