Computed from China's public holidays plus Sat–Sun weekends. Substitute days count as days off; observances don't. Bridges spend at most 4 leave days, booked only on working days. China also designates make-up working weekends (调休) around major holidays; those shifted workdays are not in this data, so verify official notices before booking.
