How long do businesses stay closed in China during Chinese New Year?

I urgently need to reach some business associates in Shanghai - but it seems that their offices are closed for Chinese New Year! How long should I expect for them to stay closed - will they be back in the office on Monday 22 Feb, or how long do they have holidays? Thanks!!

    Holidays for New Year vary. This year they seem a bit longer, most businesses are closed from anywhere from 4 days to 11 days.

    Banks and Post office etc are already back open (now), at reduced hours. And alot more businesses will reopen on Monday 22 Feb.

    But again there is no official length, as this is the major holiday of the year it is longer, and up to the owners of the company how long it is.

    the holiday lasts from Feb. 13 - 19. in simple terms approximately each and every thing has been closed using fact a minimum of Feb. 13. the holiday is formally over immediately, Feb. 20, yet many businesses take an prolonged holiday the two before and after the actually holiday dates. the former day, I despatched a courier kit by potential of way of a international corporation and predicted it to bypass out at latest. It did no longer. They picked it up yet under no circumstances began transport. i'm instructed they'll initiate immediately. Many different businesses or maybe eating places won't open till Monday. it quite is China (TIC).
