The day following the Birthday of the Buddha – Public Holiday (Hong Kong)

The Buddha’s Birthday, also known as his day of enlightenment, is a Buddhist festival celebrated in most parts of East and South Asia.

In Hong Kong, it is celebrated on the eighth day of the fourth month in the Chinese lunar calendar.

As the Buddha’s birthday fell on a Sunday this year, the day following the Buddha’s birthday has been made a bank holiday.

Our Hong Kong office is therefore closed today to observe this public holiday.
