Bank Holidays API

Bank Holidays in China

Bank holidays in China follow the schedule published by the State Council and the People's Bank of China. Most holidays cluster around lunar-calendar festivals, with extended closures for Spring Festival (Chinese New Year), Labour Day, and National Day. The Holidays API returns Chinese bank holidays across all years, including the official observed dates and substitute working days that often shift weekends to maintain longer holiday periods.

The China Bank Holidays API allows you to:

  • List every Chinese bank holiday for a given year
  • Pull historical China bank holiday calendars going back to 1980
  • Build settlement, payroll and treasury calendars that respect China financial closures
  • Integrate China banking holidays into trading, brokerage, or scheduling systems
