About Special Working Day

A Special Working Day in China refers to a day officially designated as a working day despite falling on a weekend, usually to compensate for long public holiday breaks. This policy allows for longer consecutive national holidays by shifting working hours to Saturday or Sunday. It is a standard administrative practice within the Chinese national calendar.
