Summer Palace wheelchair accessibility
Go with caution
A Qing Dynasty imperial garden and UNESCO World Heritage site. Centered around Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, it is the pinnacle of classical Chinese garden design.
Known facilities: Accessible restroom, Wheelchair rental.
- Bottom line: The core area is flat and easy to push, with well-established accessible routes. Mountainous attractions like the Tower of Buddhist Incense have steps and are inaccessible to the top; taking a boat requires staff assistance to lift the wheelchair.
- Core wheelchair experience: Taking a boat tour on Kunming Lake and pushing along the flat lakeside path to admire the paintings of the Long Corridor.
