There are a number of statutory holidays, also known as public holidays, in Hong Kong designed to celebrate important events and festivals. Each year, the government takes note of which of these holidays fall on the weekend. When one does, they usually designate a weekday (usually the first Monday following the holiday) as a public holiday to make up for the lack of day off.
