Closing down of 'holiday office' 撤销假日办 (che xiao jia ri ban)

The shutters have come down on the "holiday office", or the department that for 14 years fixed public holidays. Its functions will now be jointly shared by several departments, including the National Tourism Administration and the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China.

The "shutting down" of the "holiday office" has been greeted by a lot of sarcasm on the Internet because the holiday arrangements, despite being updated almost every year, have always created problems for and generated complaints from the public.
