Why does the sun appear almost directly overhead throughout the month of June when viewed from Hong Kong China?

I would guess that Hong Kong is closer to the equator, compared to some other place where you lived, and with which you are comparing it.
Of course that question must mean "overhead around noon".
Hong Kong is more or less on the Tropic of Cancer.
The Sun can appear overhead as far north as the Tropic of Cancer around the summer solstice (about June 21st).
