Each plan books leave only on working days between two natural breaks, so every one of them returns more than one day off per day of leave.

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.
