If you are planning for business travel to Taiwan in 2002, you should
be aware of the Taiwan Public Holidays. (Besides having your business card translated to Chinese) Jan 01 -- New Year's Day Feb 11 -- Chinese New Year's Eve. Feb 12 -- Chinese New year. Feb 13 -- Second day of Chinese New Year. Feb 14 -- Third day of Chinese New Year. * Feb 28 -- Peace Memorial Day (DAY OFF because of weekend-shifting of Mar 02) * Mar 02 -- They have to WORK on this Saturday (weekend-shifting for Feb 28) Apr 05 -- Clear and Bright or Ching Ming Festival. May 01 -- International Labor Day (only workers get the day off). May 19 -- Buddha's Birthday. Jun 15 -- Dragon Boat Festival. Sep 03 -- Army Day (special procedure dept. of national defense) Sep 21 -- Mid-Autumn Festival. Oct 10 -- National Day. * This seemingly bizarre arrangement was made because the government wants to keep constant the numbers of holiday days from-year-to-year. The following are not official public holidays, but companies CAN give their employees a day off at their discretion. Check with your host. Mar 29 -- Youth Day. Apr 04 -- Women and Children's Day. Sep 28 -- Confucius' Birthday or Teacher's Day. Oct 25 -- Taiwan Liberation Day. Oct 31 -- Chiang Kai Sek's Birthday. Nov 12 -- Sun Yet Sin's Birthday. Dec 25 -- Constitution Day, Christmas Day. |
