China's 2024 Holiday Calendar Has Eight Make-Up Work Days

January 2024: New Year’s Day
Saturday, Dec 30 to Monday, Jan 1
Make-up work days: None
The year begins with a bit of off time for the New Year holiday. There’s the weekend plus Monday, Jan 1 off, meaning you’ll have a day to nurse your hangover from ringing in 2024 the night before.

February 2024: Chinese New Year
Saturday, Feb 10 to Sunday, Feb 17
Make-up work days: Sun, Feb 4; Sun, Feb 18
The first of the make-up days of 2024 come with Chinese New Year, with one occuring prior CNY on Sunday, Feb 4, and one a day after on Sunday, Feb 18. Be ready for six-day work weeks before and after the holiday.

April 2024: Tomb-Sweeping Festival
Thursday, Apr 4 to Saturday, Apr 6
Make-up work day: Sun, Apr 7
Tomb-Sweeping Day was on a Wednesday this year, but it's back to a somewhat normal holiday schedule next year, with the holiday falling on a Thursday, but instead of a full four-day weekend, Sunday is an allotted make-up day, making for another six-day work week.

May 2024: May Day
Wednesday, May 1 to Sunday, May 5
Make-up work days: Sun, Apr 28; Sat, May 11

International Labor day arrives on a Wednesday for 2024 and goes through the whole weekend. But there’s no escape from make-up work, with a day before the holiday (Sunday, Apr 28) and one after (Saturday, May 11).

June 2024: Dragon Boat Festival
Saturday, Jun 8 to Monday, Jun 10
Make-up work days: None

One of the few holidays with no make-up work days tied to it. No work on Monday!

September 2024: Mid-Autumn Festival
Sunday, Sep 15 to Tuesday, Sep 17
Make-up work days: Sat, Sep 14

Mid-Autumn Festival is no longer close to National Holiday on the lunar calendar, so it’s back to the normal three-day weekend schedule. This time around, though, it’s Sunday to Tuesday off, with a make-up work day on the Saturday before the holiday.

October 2024: National Day
Tuesday, Oct 1 to Monday, Oct 7
Make-up work day: Sun, Sep 29; Sat, Oct 12

National Day falls on a Tuesday in 2024, which means the holiday will run until Sunday the following week. There’s a make-up working day prior to the holiday on Sunday, Sep 29 and on the Saturday after (Oct 12).

I've created a Google calendar that you can import called Chinese Holidays and Observances. The calendar includes holidays with (make up) work days, observances, and consulate holidays.

 

Go to https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r/settings/addbyurl, and enter this URL.

https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=dTNxcTBwMHE3dmZyN2ZjdG9rdnNjZTk2b2dAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ

This will import it into YOUR Google calendar, and download to your cell phone if it is tied into your Google account. My Samsung calendar also picks it up, and allows you to schedule repeats by the solar OR the Chinese lunar calendar.

 

Looks like this for Feb 2019 (click on image to enlarge)
