I would like to know where I could obtain a copy of the official China 2002 Public Holiday Schedule.

Thanks,

Weng H Leong

Dear Weng H Leong:

Actually, the State Council of China announced the public holiday schedule for 2002 just a few days ago on December 16, and the schedule was published on all major Chinese newspapers. Here is it for your reference:

I. New Year holidays: January 1-3

II. Spring Festival holidays: February 12-18

III. Labor Day holidays: May 1-7

IV. National Day holidays: October 1-7

Sincerely,

The editors
