flag China explores spring and autumn school breaks to boost tourism and student well-being.

flag China is considering adding spring and autumn breaks for primary and middle school students to boost tourism and improve well-being, according to a September 2025 national policy document. flag The proposal encourages local governments to introduce short, non-disruptive breaks—typically two to three days—without reducing teaching hours, allowing families to combine them with public holidays for longer trips. flag Regions like Hangzhou, Enshi, and Foshan have already adopted or planned such breaks to ease overcrowding during peak summer and winter travel seasons. flag The move aims to spread tourism demand, lower travel costs, and support student health through cultural and outdoor activities. flag Some cities offer school-based childcare or community programs during breaks. flag While supporters highlight benefits like improved mental health, seasonal learning, and family engagement, concerns remain about work-life balance for dual-income families. flag Implementation will vary by region, considering local climate, economic conditions, and paid leave policies.
