Notes & Sources

  1. HKSAR Government, "General holidays for 2026", gazetted list, last revised May-25: gov.hk/en/about/abouthk/holiday/2026.htm. Legal basis: General Holidays Ordinance (Cap. 149), elegislation.gov.hk/hk/cap149. Official iCal feed: 1823.gov.hk.
  2. Ching Ming Festival (05 Apr 2026) falls on a Sunday, so Mon 06 Apr is designated as a holiday in substitution. As that day coincides with Easter Monday, Tue 07 Apr is observed additionally, creating a five-day block from Fri 03 Apr to Tue 07 Apr. Easter Sunday itself is not a gazetted holiday.
  3. The Birthday of the Buddha (24 May 2026) and Chung Yeung Festival (18 Oct 2026) both fall on Sundays; the following Mondays are observed as holidays in substitution.
