In October, 2025, Zhejiang became the first province in China to have spring and autumn breaks for all primary and middle schools. These are short breaks, different from the long summer and winter holidays. The spring break is usually in late April near the May Day holiday. The autumn break is often in late September near National Day, or in mid-to-late November together with a weekend.
During the 2025 summer holiday, Zhejiang did a survey(调查) and asked 100,000 parents and 25,000 teachers about the new breaks. Here are the results: 89.2% of the parents liked the idea; 95% of the parents and 99% of the teachers agreed they were good for learning.

Zhou Yuchao, a parent of two primary schoolchildren from Hangzhou, travelled to Beijing with his family during the autumn break. They enjoyed a five-day trip. “The autumn break is really great,” he says. In the past, the family didn’t think about visiting places like the Palace Museum during holidays because of the large group of tourists. “There are fewer tourists. It greatly improves our family travel experience,” Zhou says. “And it costs(花费) less money.”
Jiang Yiyi, a teacher at Beijing Sport University, thinks spring and autumn are the best seasons for educational(与教育有关的) trips. She says, “Combining(结合) study with travel helps students learn outside the classroom and understand things better.”
