Holidays in China

Lantern Festival Standard contracts offer one to two weeks of paid vacation per year. This time is usually between semesters, thus you can expect to have a week of vacation in the summer and a week of vacation in the winter. In addition there are about 17 Chinese national holidays per year.

Please note that all the special days listed below are NOT necessarily a day off from work. Read the meaning of each to find out if you'll be in class or not. Also, plan lessons around these special days. Get your students to teach you about their special meanings and what they are doing to perpetuate their culture...

Susannah

“I've just been through the SMOE orientation and started my new job. And I just wanted to say thank you to you and Footprints- after meeting all those who came through other recruiting agencies I realized how lucky I was to be with Footprints. You provided me with much more information than others received and you've always been very helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you so much again, Susannah”
