Due to the huge difference between day and night, you need to take some warm clothes with you. In summer, the average temperature in the daytime is about twenty degrees, and the sunlight is strong, so you should take some skin product such as sunhat, lipstick, suncream, etc. The temperature at night will drop at ten degrees so it will be colder at night. The temperature in winter is lower, so you should take more thick and warm clothes.
