Every year on October 1, China celebrates National Day, marking the founding of the People\u2019s Republic of China in 1949. In 2025, the holiday is especially significant because it overlaps with the Mid-Autumn Festival, giving the Chinese workforce an extended eight-day break from October 1 to October 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For international companies working with Chinese suppliers, manufacturers, and logistics providers, this period\u2014often referred to as Golden Week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Golden Week?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Golden Week is one of China\u2019s longest public holidays. Factories, government offices, banks, and many private businesses close their doors so employees can travel, rest, and reunite with family. With nearly 1.4 billion people on the move<\/strong>, it also sparks one of the world\u2019s largest annual migration events, as millions of workers travel long distances to their hometowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this is a festive and patriotic holiday for Chinese citizens\u2014with flag-raising ceremonies, fireworks, and cultural performances\u2014for businesses, it often means a complete pause in operations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
