All aspects of the arrangement seemed quite appropriate. However, there was some disagreement on the route of the inspection. According to Chen Zhewen and Wang Benchang, President Qiao's inspection focused on three places. The first was Ancient City, where after attending the project signing, he would inspect the Science and Technology Park in the development area of Ancient City, as well as Ancient Capital Traffic University and other key 211 institutions. Then, on the second day, he would drive to Shian City to inspect Shian City. The third day would be for inspecting Qinchuan City.
However, this plan was opposed by Liu Zhentao. He had no objections to the first two points, but for the third location, Liu Zhentao suggested inspecting Linzhou City instead.
