May is the beginning of summer in Shenzhen. The maximum temperature during the month is about 29 °C (90 °F) and the minimum temperature is 23 °C (73 °C). It is very warm and occasionally hot, and it rains a lot.
Summer clothing is generally enough. Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out, and you may need sunglasses during sunny days to protect your eyes.
During May, most tourist places are suitable to visit. Take a trip to the Window of the World, or get up early in the morning and walk on Dameisha Beach.
May 1 is National Labor Day, and on this day tourist attractions are crowded with many tourists from home and abroad. Hotel rooms prices may be higher than usual, transportation is busier, and train and flight tickets are difficult to buy, so plan ahead if you are visiting around the beginning of the month.
