With the persuasion and encouragement of our teacher, we finally summon up courage to go with bags on our back. Route: as the famous “New houses in Bashan” scatters in three counties and two districts in BaZhong City, it is impossible visit them one by one. In order to visit the settlements, problem besides how to arrange the route, it is our big problem to consider money and time.
