Long workweek 长跑周 (chang pao zhou)

To enjoy a holiday from April 29 to May 1 for Labor Day, people had to work for preceding weekend. In other words, the weekend was shifted to Monday and Tuesday, to grant people a three-day holiday.

But this arrangement is not confined to the Labor Day holidays. According to the official schedule for public holidays in 2013, workers can enjoy "a longer holiday" by swapping their weekend preceding the public holiday with weekdays as part of the government's efforts to stimulate consumption. That means a longer holiday comes with the price of a longer workweek (consecutive seven working days).
