Open ToolWhy These Tools Exist
China's holiday system is unlike any other country's. The government doesn't just declare days off — it swaps weekends with workdays to create longer breaks. A Saturday might be a mandatory workday; a Wednesday might be a day off. Global holiday calendars miss these swaps entirely.
For importers, this means your supplier's factory might be closed when Google says it's open, or running on a weekend when you assumed they were off. These tools solve that problem with data sourced directly from the State Council General Office (国务院办公厅).
For Developers
All tools are powered by our free China Working Day API. No API key required, CORS enabled, and it correctly handles the 6+ makeup workdays per year that other APIs ignore.
