Mid-Autumn Festival: 3 days off; National Day: 7 days off; with 3 working days in between. Taking 3 days off to connect them into a 13-day vacation sounds great—but it’s actually a poor strategy. What’s the ultimate vacation approach? Take two days off before Mid-Autumn Festival, so you get a 5-day continuous break. Go wild—travel hard, have fun, exhaust yourself completely. Then, during the next three days when everyone else is taking time off and the office is quiet, show up for work. While others are out traveling, you’re in the office—relaxing, catching up, recharging. After that, head out again for the full 7-day National Day holiday. Perfect balance of work and leisure—top-tier.
