The Bund wheelchair access: ramps, viewing platform and toilets
Check both the route onto and off the Bund viewing platform, including one-way access, crowds and toilet limitations.
This guide is based on place notes recorded by EasyRoll. Confirm current opening arrangements, entrances and services before travelling.

Can I return by the same ramp?
Not always. The recorded notes describe one-way restrictions on some platform access routes and stairs that may require assistance. Plan both the entry and exit before reaching the waterfront.
What should I check between the metro and the platform?
Treat the station lift, exit, street crossings and platform ramp as one continuous route. Compare complete arrival options in the place details rather than straight-line distances. Replan if a lift or entrance is temporarily closed.
Where can I find an accessible toilet?
The notes list toilet options on the viewing platform and at nearby venues, as well as limitations such as locked doors or grab-rail positions. Read the specific locations and restrictions, confirm opening arrangements and identify a backup.
Should I visit when the lights are on?
Evening lighting periods and public holidays can bring crowds that make wheelchair movement harder. Consider morning or daytime for less congestion. Check the platform, ferry and sightseeing cruise access separately; their conditions are not interchangeable.
