How does China mark National Days?
国庆节
- Local date
- October 1, 2027
Mainland China's National Day is 1 October, marking the founding of the People's Republic on that date in 1949. The national holiday regulation gives it three days, and shifted workdays are then used to build a run of about a week — the 'Golden Week' that is one of the largest travel and spending windows of the year. Round anniversaries such as the tenth or seventieth bring a military parade; other years are marked mainly by local events.
What is this topic?
The seven national days commemorate different kinds of events: the United States, Brazil, Indonesia and India mark the moment of leaving colonial rule or declaring independence; mainland China marks the founding of a state; Taiwan marks an uprising that ended an empire; and Japan's National Foundation Day has no corresponding dated historical event at all, being set on a legendary enthronement.
What this page compares is where each place places the day a country is counted from.
