Mid-Week Mid-Autumn Festival

Sep 24, 2010
Since China reformed its public holiday system in 2008 the traditional (PIC) Mid-autumn festival has become an official one day holiday. This year it fell on a Wednesday, making it awkward for anybody who has to travel to spend the day with family. So how do people manage? Well most of the country uses a system of swapping weekends for work days to ensure a few days off together. This year that meant working the following Saturday and Sunday. And it’s complicated even more because of the upcoming national holiday on October 1st. So are people happy about this system and how did they arrange the holiday? Well, that’s what we went out and asked in today’s Straight for the Street.
