I've tried something.It is only idea, probably wrong. But anyway,I need one more step.

Try starting off by making an epoxide and see where you can go from there.

cyclohexane-1,2-diol...or halogencyclohexanol...and no idea about the next step

you would not get the diol unless you hydrolyzed it. Do you know the reactivity of epoxides? What about an alkoxide?
Reductive amination?
