What the numbers say
In 2026, China has 6 nationwide public holidays and Vietnam has 4, so China gets 2 more days off. They line up on 2 dates, including 元旦 and 劳动节.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: China has 6 on working days (0 fall on a weekend), against 4 for Vietnam (0 on a weekend).
For short breaks, China offers 3 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Vietnam offers 1 and 2. China has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is January in China and January in Vietnam.
