Legal analysis: winter vacation is generally around 1 month. However, in the cold northeast high latitude areas of China, sometimes it takes about 45 days, and many even take about two months. Every year around the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the school begins to have a holiday, and the winter vacation ends after the Lantern Festival. Every year from late June or mid-July (after the end of the school year) to the end of August or early September (the beginning of the new school year), this period of time is one and a half months to two months.

Legal basis: The Experimental Program of Compulsory Education Curriculum lasts for 35 weeks each academic year. The school maneuver time is 2 weeks, which is arranged by the school according to specific conditions, such as traditional school activities, cultural festivals, sports meetings, hiking and so on. The review exam time is 2 weeks (the second semester graduation review exam in the last year of junior high school is increased by 2 weeks). There are 13 weeks in winter and summer vacations and national legal holidays.
