What the numbers say
In 2026, Hong Kong has 17 nationwide public holidays and Singapore has 11, so Hong Kong gets 6 more days off. They line up on 6 dates, including 元旦新年, 農曆年初一, 農曆年初二 and 耶穌受難節.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Hong Kong has 14 on working days (3 fall on a weekend), against 10 for Singapore (1 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Hong Kong offers 7 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 5 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Singapore offers 6 and 2. Hong Kong has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is April in Hong Kong and February in Singapore.
