清明節
Ching Ming Festival
Monday, 6 Apr 2026 · Hong Kong · Nationwide · Public holiday
Bridge day check
Falls on a Monday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
What the day is for
Tomb-sweeping day, when families clear and repaint ancestral graves, burn offerings and lay food at the graveside. The cemeteries on Hong Kong Island and in the New Territories are at their busiest of the year.
Do shops and banks close?
General holiday; banks, offices and schools close. Shops and restaurants open normally.
Getting around
Special MTR and bus services to the cemeteries, with queuing systems in place. Heavy cross-boundary traffic to graves in Guangdong.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
