"As both the first day of January and National Day in 2017 fall on a Sunday, the day following them is designated as a general holiday in substitution. In addition, since the second day of Lunar New Year in 2017 falls on a Sunday, the fourth day of Lunar New Year is designated as a general holiday in substitution," said a Government spokesman.
