Several companies in the cities of Changsha, Wuhan, Chengdu and Nanjing are giving employers extra days off on December 20 and 21.

"Few people believe the world will end, but we can take advantage of it to spend time with our loved ones," said a Wuhan IT firm CEO surnamed Du, who considers the so-called doomsday a chance for revelry.
