Walk the path before you go

A ramp or an elevator is not enough on its own. We look at whether the whole trip, from drop-off to visiting, actually connects.

Four things to check along the way

Arrival → entrance → on site → facilities
  1. 01

    Arrival

    After you arrive, how do you reach the door?

    Metro exits, elevators, parking, and drop-off points: how far to the entrance?

    • Last stretch
    • Drop-off
    • Parking
  2. 02

    Entrance

    Can you actually get in?

    Steps, ramps, side doors, and thresholds decide whether you can enter independently.

    • Step-free entry
    • Slope
    • Detour distance
  3. 03

    Visit

    Once inside, can you get around?

    Gravel, steep ramps, narrow doors, and floor changes can break the visit.

    • Surfaces
    • Path width
    • Floor changes
  4. 04

    Facilities

    When you need a rest or a toilet, is it usable?

    Toilets, elevators, and rest spots: not just whether they exist, but whether they work.

    • Accessible toilet
    • Elevator
    • Rest spots

How to read access status

Start with the overall judgment, then open each step. Color is always paired with words and an icon.

Clear access

Recorded key steps look fairly workable. Still judge against your wheelchair and conditions that day.

Go with caution

There is a recorded issue with a path or facility. Read the specific barrier, then plan help or an alternative.

Access limited

A blocked record exists, and some routes may not be passable. Confirm a usable entrance and path before going.

Not enough information

Key steps are still unconfirmed. That does not mean you cannot go, and it does not mean access is clear.

If a barrier and missing information both exist, the place page shows them separately. Anything not recorded is marked unconfirmed.

Illustrated trip · not a real venue

For example, visiting an art museum

The main door has steps, but the north door works. Facilities only help when they sit on an actual route.

Distances and facilities below are examples only. Check a real place page before you go.

  1. Metro station

    Find an exit with an elevator first

  2. 500 m sidewalk

    Check surfaces and curb cuts along the way

  3. Step-free north entrance

    Use another door and continue the indoor route

    The main door has 4 steps; detour to the north door is about 120 m.

  4. Indoor elevator

    Change floors and keep visiting

  5. Accessible toilet

    Confirm location and whether it is usable

Plan a wheelchair visit

  • Forbidden City wheelchair access: entrances, paving and route planning
  • The Bund wheelchair access: ramps, viewing platform and toilets
  • Wuhan Art Museum wheelchair visit: Hankou and Qintai venues
