2026 Government Work Report Supports the Promotion of Spring and Autumn Holidays in Primary and Secondary Schools, Travel Bookings Surge in Many Regions

The 2026 government work report proposes supporting qualified regions to promote spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary schools. As the spring semester begins, many places are gradually announcing their spring break schedules for 2026. Chengdu, Nanjing, Suzhou, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Leshan, Meishan, Shaoxing, and other cities have officially announced their spring break dates, taking the lead in implementing relevant policies. The spring break is scheduled from April 1 to 3, coinciding with the Qingming Festival. Students in primary and secondary schools in these areas will be the first to enjoy the spring holiday.

The combined holiday of spring break and Qingming Festival creates a 6-day long vacation, encouraging more travel. Data from Qunar shows that as of March 4, flight bookings from Chengdu for April 1-6 have increased 1.5 times compared to last year, with a 28% week-over-week growth. Chengdu has also become one of the fastest-growing departure cities on the Qunar platform.

During spring break, the most popular flight destinations from Chengdu are Shanghai, Beijing, Sanya, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Zhuhai, Qingdao, Wuhan, Haikou, and Jieyang. Among these destinations, Beihai and Shangrao have seen the fastest growth, increasing by dozens of times; Lijiang, Jieyang, Nanchang, Wuhan, and Wuxi have all grown more than fivefold. After the customs closure, Sanya and Haikou in Hainan are expected to welcome more Chengdu family travelers, with year-over-year increases of 5 times and 3 times, respectively.

Additionally, departing from Nanjing, flight bookings during the 2026 spring break increased by 85% compared to last year. The top 10 popular destinations include Guangzhou, Sanya, Jieyang, Kunming, Haikou, Guiyang, Xi’an, Xiamen, Nanning, and Shenzhen.
