- Bottom line: It is highly recommended to visit with companions. The ground consists of ancient stone slabs, which are bumpy and can easily trap wheels. The main halls are blocked by steps, requiring steep ramps. It is advised to bring a manual folding wheelchair and be accompanied by two people.
- Wheelchair core experience: View the Three Great Halls and the Three Back Palaces from a distance along the barrier-free path of the central axis.
