China's holiday authorities started soliciting public opinion on three draft schemes of public holiday arrangements for 2014.
A poll is running on the country's major news websites, with the Spring Festival holiday lasting seven days in all three schemes including weekends before and after.
Â
The major differences apply to the National Day holiday with options of three days, five days or seven days, all starting from 1 October . The latter two schemes include weekends.
Meanwhile, some other holidays like New Year's Day, Tomb-sweeping Day, May Day, Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival will last one day if they fall on a Wednesday, three days including a weekend if on Tuesday or Thursday, or extend onto Monday if they fall on Saturday or Sunday.
The government started a similar online poll on 10 October, with many wanting current arrangements changed.
