Watch out for plenty of Monkey-business, but the public holidays will still run according to schedule. As an ex British Colony, now part of China, and with a mix of English and Chinese influences the holiday and festival calendar is one of the busiest. Public Holidays, are those gazzetted by the Hong Kong government and are a day off for schools, banks, offices and so on. Also known as Statuary Holidays they don't effect retail, shops, restaurants or any shopping arcades or malls nor tourist attractions. The various lunar calendar festivities such as Chinese New Year are on different days of the calendar each year, and in 2016 the CNY falls on the 8th of Feb. Officially there are three days off, but for many schools and more traditional businesses you'll find that they take more than a week away. See also HK Calendar 2017
Notes: All Chinese Festivals which depend on the Lunar Calendar are calculated in advance which I have done here where possible. See also Festivals 2015 or 2017 Calendar for HK |
