Hong Kong keeps a dual calendar reflecting its history and culture: Western holidays like Good Friday and Christmas sit alongside Lunar New Year (typically three days), the Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, all set by the Chinese lunar calendar. Hong Kong SAR Establishment Day (July 1) marks the 1997 handover from Britain to China.
