* Hong Kong Government is very generous when it comes to official holidays. Since the first day of January as wells National Day falls on a Sunday in 2017, Hong Kong Government decided to designate the following day as general holiday substitution. In addition, since the second day of Lunar New Year also falls on a Sunday in 2017, the fourth day of Lunar New Year will be designated as a general holiday as substitution. |
