The final stop is the Yutian County International Desert Desertification Control Demonstration Site, which also serves as a model plot for desertification control by the Yutian County Desertification Research Station of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Originally known as the Desert Park, the site features sand-fixing vegetation dominated by Calligonum, along with scattered plants such as Tamarix, sea buckthorn, and camel thorn.

In December 2008, the county tourism bureau built an observation deck at the site, standing 10.5 meters high. Visitors can climb up to take in the panoramic view, fully appreciate the achievements of desertification control, get close to the desert, and experience the scientific results of pushing back the sands.
