    About Public Holidays in Taiwan

    Taiwan's National Day (October 10, "Double Ten Day") commemorates the 1911 Wuchang Uprising that led to the fall of China's last imperial dynasty, predating the 1949 split between Taiwan and mainland China entirely. Lunar New Year typically brings the longest closure of the year, often extended to nine or more consecutive days through official scheduling.
