The third day of the Lunar New Year	28 Jan	Wed
Spring Lantern Festival / Yuen Siu	9 Feb	Mon - not a public holiday

Chinese Ghosts Festival / Yue Lan	2 Sep	Wed - not a public holiday
Confucius' Birthday/Teacher's Day	28 Sept	Mon - not a public holiday
Chinese National Day	1 Oct	Thu
Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival / Moon Festival	3 Oct	Sat -- this year is a little strange. Normally the public holiday is the day after the night when lanterns are shown (so we can all sleep in). But in this year that would be Sunday, a day of rest anyway, so for 2009 actual day/evening which is the Lantern Festival is a pubic holiday.
Chung Yeung Festival	26 Oct	Monday
Winter Solstice	22 Dec	Thu - not a public holiday
Christmas Day	25 Dec	Friday
Boxing Day	26 Dec	Sat
