Here in Kaiping, the elementary kids got the day off but all/most parents still had to work. So what do you do about babysitting ??? Most parents have their parents/relatives involved so I guess babysitting is not that great of a problem for this day. Someparents even brought their kids to work.

The bakeries got their share of the marketing gimmick of this day by selling "Children's Day" cakes for 6-10 RMB.
