What to wear and bring

Early May
The weather is slightly cool in early May, so it is recommended to wear a thin jacket or long-sleeved sweater to keep warm in the morning and evening. You can also take an umbrella or raincoat to prepare for possible rain.

Mid-May
The heat will intensify in mid-May. You can wear short-sleeved T-shirts and trendy short skirts. You can always put on a sweater in the morning and evening when it is cold, and it adds a fashionable touch to your outfit. Sunscreen is important. Also, a sun hat and sunglasses will help prevent the strong sunlight from hitting your bare skin.

Late May
The temperature is high at the end of May. During the day, breathable, light, and loose short sleeves will suit you. A very light summer shawl will also come in handy on the not-so warm nights. Bring an umbrella, rain gear, and sunscreen for persistent rains and burning sun. Also pack a small towel and a water bottle, so you may cool down and stay hydrated.
