Ban Quan has more than 100 households, mainly Thai ethnic people, with a large area, 5 km from the commune center with mountainous terrain.

This is a section of the road project connecting Mau Duc and Binh Chuan communes. According to the design, this section will be built with a rigid bridge, but due to the project's slow progress, it has not been implemented yet.

To reduce the difficulty in traveling for households here, the Youth Union of Binh Chuan commune waded through streams, cut bamboo, and used wood to make temporary bridges, the total value of the project was 15 million VND.

Building temporary bridges like this will facilitate the travel and transportation of goods for the villagers, contributing to economic development, poverty reduction, especially ensuring the safety of students, especially during the rainy season.
