National Day

A major national holiday period linked to Golden Week, with broad impacts on transport, office coverage, and business continuity planning.

What Is National Day?

National Day commemorates the founding of the People’s Republic of China and is followed by Golden Week, one of the largest domestic travel periods of the year.

Because the break is long and can involve adjusted working weekends, teams typically experience extended changes in response times and logistics throughput.

For international operations, this is one of the most critical annual windows to lock staffing plans, supplier schedules, and escalation paths before the holiday begins.
