Though there is only one day break for the Mid-Autumn Festival, the government usually combines the holiday with a weekend to give people more time to relax. Thus, people will have a 3-day holiday to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

If the Mid-Autumn day occurs at the end of September or early October, the holiday is usually combined with the statutory National Day. In this case, people will have an 8-day break!
