Holiday breaks
Shenzhen winter school break: family trips
Shenzhen's education bureau starts winter break on 23 January 2027 for compulsory schools and on 30 January for senior high; both return on 22 February, so 21 February is the derived last day. Summer starts on 10 July for compulsory schools and 17 July for senior high; the autumn return is not verified here. Spring and autumn breaks are encouraged but not set as blanket dates, so none are shown, and an early exam does not mean an early holiday.

What to weigh
- Families with a senior-high student have a winter break one week shorter.
- Spring and autumn breaks are not fixed citywide; check your school.
- The shortlist is ranked on modelled cost only; it does not filter by flight time, direct service, weather or entry rules. Check those yourself.
- The budget is an editable illustration in local currency for a family of four, not a typical, recommended or guaranteed amount.
