How does the University of Hong Kong have a holiday?
Every Saturday, Sunday and other legal holidays are holidays, and there are also winter and summer vacations, but there are two short holidays in winter vacation: Christmas and Spring Festival.

The reasons are as follows:

1. As Hong Kong was a British colony before the reunification, Hong Kong still retains some British festivals, such as Christmas and Good Friday.

In Hong Kong, as long as any public holiday falls on a Sunday, Hong Kong will be delayed by one day. For example, in 20 18, when the third day of the Lunar New Year falls on a Sunday, Hong Kong postponed the holiday by one day and turned the fourth day into a holiday. Moreover, there is no so-called "public holiday" in Hong Kong, and holidays will definitely be given.
