Leisure Time in China

From the graphs we can see that Chinese people now have freer time and holidays than they did before. The average working hours per week decreased from 50 hours in 1980 to 40 hours in 2000, and non-manual workers tend to have a rather shorter week, averaging about 37 hours. In addition, full-time workers now have totally about 120 holidays a year, about one third of the days of the year.

Since the reform and open policy was carried out, Chinese people have had more time to spend on various kinds of leisure activities. A lot of people love both to play and to watch team sports like basketball or football. Many people stay at home having a rest, reading books, watching TV, and so on. In recent years, more and more people love to travel during longer holidays. They go to visit some scenic and historical sites, and some people even make a tour abroad to see the world.
