What the numbers say
In 2026, Kazakhstan has 13 nationwide public holidays and China has 6, so Kazakhstan gets 7 more days off. They line up on 2 dates, including Жаңа жыл and Қазақстан халқының.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Kazakhstan has 7 on working days (6 fall on a weekend), against 6 for China (0 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Kazakhstan offers 4 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 2 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); China offers 3 and 3. China has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is March in Kazakhstan and January in China.
