List of Holidays in Other Countries.

[thesolar65]

Just out of curiosity, Can you tell how many Govt. Holidays or off days in your country? Trying to compare it as I think we have too many off days here. I mean including Sundays and compulsory list of off days etc. In India we have also Saturdays off for central Govt. employee and only 2nd Saturday of for state Govt. employees.

@Alpha1 and @Armstrong (for Pakistan) @BDforever @wanglaokan @SOHEIL @haman10 @Viet @gambit @kbd-raaf (for Australia) @levina (for UAE) @vostok and other countries members are also welcome to share.

[Chinese-Dragon]

In mainland China, there are holidays for

- Chinese New Year
- Qingming Festival
- Dragon Boat Festival
- National Day
- Mid Autumn Festival

These are usually 1 day each, except for Chinese New Year which is 3 days for example.

In my city Hong Kong, we celebrate all of the above, plus quite a LOT more.

The most memorable would be the Chung Yeung Festival (a Traditional Chinese holiday), where we are supposed to climb a mountain, drink chrysanthemum wine, and pay respects to our ancestors. These traditions date back to thousands of years ago.
