For example, Hong Kong&#8217;s SAR Establishment Day is on 1 July, while Macau&#8217;s is on 20 December; Macau has some Catholic holidays as public holidays, such as All Souls&#8217; Day and the Immaculate Conception, which Hong Kong does not have; the Winter Solstice is a public holiday in Macau, but not in Hong Kong; Macau has two days of holidays for National Day, while Hong Kong has only one. Therefore, Macau has 20 public holidays a year, 3 more than Hong Kong&#8217;s 17.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Macau public holidays have compensatory holidays if they fall on a Saturday or Sunday, whereas Hong Kong only has compensatory holidays when a public holiday falls on a Sunday. Therefore, Macau has more compensatory holidays, with 6 days in 2027, while Hong Kong has only 1.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Apart from that, Macau&#8217;s Handover Anniversary, Winter Solstice, and Christmas are all in late December. These three festivals together can create a 10-day long holiday, so late December around Christmas is one of Macau&#8217;s main long holiday periods every year, while Hong Kong needs to take leave to create a long holiday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Comparison of 2027 Public Holidays in Macau and Hong Kong:<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"color: #993300; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;\">\n<th width=\"34%\"><\/th>\n<th width=\"33%\">Macau<\/th>\n<th width=\"33%\">Hong Kong<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Number of public holidays<\/td>\n<td>20 days<\/td>\n<td>17 days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Number of compensatory holidays<\/td>\n<td>6 days<\/td>\n<td>1 day<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lunar New Year holiday<\/td>\n<td>2 days leave for 9 days off<\/td>\n<td>3 days leave for 9 days off<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Easter + Ching Ming Festival holiday<\/td>\n<td>4 days leave for 11 days off<\/td>\n<td>4 days leave for 11 days off<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>National Day + Chung Yeung Festival holiday<\/td>\n<td>3 days leave for 10 days off<\/td>\n<td>4 days leave for 10 days off<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Christmas holiday<\/td>\n<td>2 days leave for 10 days off, or 6 days leave for 17 days off<\/td>\n<td>No leave needed for a 3-day break, or 4 days leave for 9 days off<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3-day break without leave<\/td>\n<td>New Year&#8217;s Day, Labour Day<\/td>\n<td>New Year&#8217;s Day<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 day leave for 4-day short break<\/td>\n<td>Buddha&#8217;s Birthday, Mid-Autumn Festival, All Souls&#8217; Day<\/td>\n<td>Buddha&#8217;s Birthday, Establishment Day, Mid-Autumn Festival<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/egazette.gld.gov.hk\/pdfjs\/web\/viewer.html?file=https%3A%2F%2Fegazette.gld.gov.hk%2Fos%2Fgazette%2F20263020%2Fcgn202630202834.pdf%3FX-Amz-Content-Sha256%3DUNSIGNED-PAYLOAD%26X-Amz-Algorithm%3DAWS4-HMAC-SHA256%26X-Amz-Credential%3DZ2xkZ2F6ZXRfdXNlcg%253D%253D%252F20260821%252Fus-east-1%252Fs3%252Faws4_request%26X-Amz-Date%3D20260821T084034Z%26X-Amz-SignedHeaders%3Dhost%26X-Amz-Expires%3D300%26X-Amz-Signature%3Dc6873d217fdd1409149b2ab0eafd91296acd0c1b553d6741578b3c17ab3adf02\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Hong Kong Government Official 2027 Public Holiday Announcement\">Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Gazette Announcement: &#8220;2027 Public Holidays&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/bo.dsaj.gov.mo\/bo\/ii\/2026\/16\/avisosoficiais.asp\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Macau Government Official 2027 Public Holiday Announcement\">Macau Special Administrative Region Gazette: &#8220;Table of Dates of 2027 Public Holidays, Exemption from Work for Public Administration Workers, and Compensatory Holidays&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"color-green\">Related articles<\/span>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travelclassroom.net\/eng\/hk-departure-tax-refund.html\" target=\"_blank\">Hong Kong Departure Tax Refund: Eligibility and Application Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travelclassroom.net\/eng\/china-railway-12306.html\" target=\"_blank\">[Buying High-Speed Rail Tickets] Guide to Using China Railway 12306 to Buy Mainland High-Speed Rail (Train) Tickets, Collect Tickets, Refunds and Boarding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travelclassroom.net\/eng\/hong-kong-zhuhai-macao-bridge.html\" target=\"_blank\">From Macau to Hong Kong Airport via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: Airport Direct Bus, Golden Bus Shuttle Bus Riding Guide + Land and Water Route Comparison<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Kong has 17 days of public holidays each year.
