Yutian County International Desert Desertification Control Demonstration Site
The final stop is the Yutian County International Desert Desertification Control Demonstration Site, which is also a model plot for desertification control research by the Yutian County Research Station of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Originally called the Desert Park, this demonstration 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 here, standing 10.5 meters high. From the top, visitors can take in the panoramic view of the desertification control achievements, get up close to the desert, and experience the scientific outcomes of pushing back the sands.
