Long weekends in Taiwan, 2026

10 runs of three days or more, including the ones you only get by taking a single bridge day off. National closures only, computed on a Monday–Friday week — an assumption, not something the corpus records for this jurisdiction.

How we know this

Every layer this corpus carries, whether it exists for Taiwan, how many records, how each is graded and when it was last looked at. The record rather than the data — enough to check a claim before relying on it.

Not held for Taiwan: Statutory weekly rest, Half-days and partial closures, Bank-only closures, Observed but open. A gap is ours, not a statement about the place — it means nobody here has read an instrument for it yet.

2 named documents, issued by 2 bodies, stand behind these rows. Every date is traceable to one of them:

From the Bulletin

What the corpus turned up about Taiwan — published when there is something, and silent when there is not.

Correction · Machinery · 22 August 2026 Nine minutes from midnight in Beijing The Chinese calendar was being approximated with an average month length. It works until a leap month, and then a hundred and twenty-five dates across twenty-five jurisdictions are wrong, one of them in the wrong year. Correction · Divergence · 22 August 2026 One full moon, three answers Mid-Autumn is a single full moon and our records resolved it to three different dates. One of the three was legitimate. Finding the other two needed no external source at all — a corpus contradicting itself is evidence on its own.
