Few people think about the fact that Chinese Internet sites are the same workplace followed by the day sellers sit and in contact with their customers. Therefore, Chinese public holidays are a weighty reason for the lack of a seller in the workplace or a delay of the parcel for several days. In order not to disturb your own plans, each user of the Aliexpress website should know the dates of public holidays in China and the actions algorithm when ordering the goods when the holidays are on the nose.

How can holidays in China on purchases on AliExpress

The Chinese calendar consists of seven serious holidays, thanks to which the entire population of the Middle Kingdom leaves their jobs and arranges "Pier on the whole world" in a circle of family and friends. According to statistics, "golden days", which last in the amount of about 14 days are considered the most common and long-term. The first week is devoted to the Day of Education of the PRC, the second - Chinese New Year, which has nothing to do with our. Honestly, the state gives the population just three weekends, officially approved by law, but practice shows the opposite - people really may not go to work and have fun.

What are these holidays from themselves and what is their loud importance?

PRC Day

The importance of this holiday is quite obvious. This is the main state holiday - the day of the formation of the People's Republic of China. It has a fixed date, and is celebrated on October 1. Another 2 additional weekend is added to this date, as well as "bonus" vacations, which are issued due to the re-formation of labor days.

As a result, it turns out that this day falls for every year from 1 to 7 October, that is, for a whole week. Based on this, take into account that shopping in early October can turn into long expectations due to the lack of sellers in workplaces and further postage delay.

Chinese New Year

Always remember that the Chinese New Year has nothing to do with our, by virtue of cultural and religious differences. In fact, at the notching of the new year in China, the population receives only 3 weekends, but in practice, these 3 days stretch up to 2-3 weeks of continuous Gulba.

The main feature of this event is that it does not have a fixed date. Our new year is noted systematically from January 31 to January 1, while the Chinese date is changed. The Chinese meet the New Year on the first day of the new Moon (the second in the account) at the end of the winter solstice. We calculate, of course, do not work, because everything we need to remember is: the new year in China comes no earlier than January 21 and no later than February 20. The distribution of workers and weekends at the New Year time occurs on the same principle as during the celebration of the PRC Day, only in practice such festivities are tightened for a couple of weeks more.

Simply put, the first 3 days increase to weekly. As a result, 2,5-3 weeks of New Year's holidays are obtained. Absolutely all, except for representatives of vital professions: doctors, firefighters, law enforcement agencies, etc.

As for sellers on the site AliexpressMost of them on the eve of any public holiday informs customers about all possible trade delays.

New Year and Pottage Potions on Aliexpress

The most interesting thing is that the Chinese not only celebrate, but also belong to the new year not as we.
