May is generally a warm and humid month in Hong Kong as it marks the beginning of the summer season and the onset of the rainy period. Temperatures usually range between 25°C (77°F) and 31°C (88°F), with high humidity levels and occasional showers or thunderstorms. While it may not be the driest or coolest time of the year, it’s still a good time to visit if you are prepared for warm weather and possible rain. The city remains lively, with lush green scenery and plenty of indoor attractions to enjoy if the weather turns wet.
For U.S. citizens, visiting Hong Kong for a short trip is quite convenient. You do not need a visa if you are staying for 90 days or less. Entry is straightforward, and immigration procedures are typically efficient. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay and that you have proof of onward or return travel.
- No visa required for U.S. citizens staying up to 90 days.
- Passport must be valid for at least 6 months after arrival.
- Proof of onward or return ticket may be requested.
Given your travel plan from Vietnam, it’s easy to fly to Hong Kong with frequent direct flights from major Vietnamese cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. If you only have 4 days, Hong Kong can still offer a very fulfilling stay — from exploring Victoria Peak and taking the Star Ferry to enjoying world-class dining, markets, and the vibrant mix of East-meets-West culture.
In summary, Hong Kong in May is worth a few days if you don’t mind the humidity and occasional rain. The city is safe, efficient, and easy to navigate, making it an excellent stopover or short city break on your Asia trip.
