Holidays in Hong Kong 2020
Hong Kong is part of China, but as a special administrative region, it has its own holiday calendar. There are more holidays in Hong Kong in 2020 but they are shorter than the holidays in Mainland China. This is because Hong Kong observes traditional Chinese, Buddhist, and Christian holidays, which makes the number of holidays big.
The dates of many holidays change every year as they follow the traditional lunar calendar.
Please note that Mainland China, Macau and Taiwan have their own holidays.
Hong Kong government gazetted the following list of general holidays for 2020 for public information:
| Every Sunday | Sundays |
| The first day of January (New Year Day) | Wednesday 1 January 2020 |
