Weather:The weather in this part of Asia varies depending on the region and season. During winter, from November to March, temperatures in areas like Hong Kong and North Vietnam can range from 4–10°C (39–50°F), with mountainous regions dropping as low as 1–5°C (34–41°F), making it quite cold. Most other regions, however, generally experience warm weather, with temperatures averaging between 25-30°C (77-86°F) and occasionally reaching up to 33°C (91°F) or higher. For detailed weather information about your destination, please consult our travel consultant or check it here on our website.

What to wear:When preparing for your trip, pack versatile clothing suitable for both warm and cool climates. For regions like North Vietnam and Hong Kong during the winter months (November to March), warm clothes and a light jacket are essential, as temperatures can be quite cold. In warmer areas, lightweight, breathable clothing is ideal to stay comfortable. For beach or pool activities, swimsuits and sun-protective clothing are recommended. A light raincoat is also useful year-round, as tropical showers can occur unexpectedly. When visiting sacred places or cultural sites, it is important to dress modestly. In many temples or religious sites, covering your shoulders and knees is expected as a sign of respect. Avoid wearing revealing or overly casual clothing such as shorts or tank tops when visiting such places.

What to take:To make your travels easier, pack lightly and choose a suitcase with wheels for convenience. Keep in mind that many items can be purchased at your visiting destinations, so avoid overpacking and bringing everything from home. For day trips from ports, a smaller overnight bag (if you’re taking an overnight excursion) or a little backpack is handy for carrying essentials. A discreet money belt is recommended for securely carrying money and travel documents. Be sure to pack the following essentials: warm clothing for cooler regions, sunblock to protect against the tropical sun, swimsuits for water activities, and a light raincoat or umbrella to stay prepared for sudden rain showers.
