Sirs;mdms; I was of the oppinion that Asian calendars were of a diffrent mode? How then would they celebrate May Day? Perhaps they call it something else? Sincerely, Arthur.
In answer to your question :
The European holiday May Day happens on May 1st, and May 1st is also a holiday in China and Hong Kong (even if it is for a different reason).
Thank you for your comment.
