Local planning
Business-hour guidance
Compensatory Working Schedule
China uses official statutory calendar adjustments where weekend days before or after major public holidays like Golden Week or Spring Festival are designated as mandatory workdays with full corporate and government operations.
Midday Break and Meal Times
Standard offices and municipal departments usually observe a designated lunch break around 12:00 to 13:30. Independent restaurants often pause service between lunch and dinner.
Weekend Banking and Cashier Limits
Major retail bank branches remain open on Saturday and Sunday for personal financial services, but corporate banking and foreign currency exchange counters typically operate Monday through Friday only.
Appointment Systems and Digital Queues
Most government service halls and entry-exit centers require online reservations via municipal WeChat mini-programs prior to in-person visits.
