In the golden autumn season, the leisure autumn loop along National Highway 318 in Maizhokunggar is as beautiful as a painted scroll. Starting from Lhasa, you can visit the golden birch forest in Zain Village, Riduo Township, soak in the natural Riduo hot springs, and taste authentic Tibetan local Ding meat. Then you can explore the serene sacred lake Sijinla Tso Lake, and climb up to the Mira Pass to overlook the highland autumn scenery. Colorful forests, sacred springs, holy lakes and snow-capped mountains are connected along the route, making it a relaxing and healing short-distance self-drive autumn sightseeing route around Lhasa.
