Wow, it’s a very good question!
Though I left Beijing after graduation, I went back to this city for a week in September.
This time I did not stay downtown. So I thought maybe the infrastructure would be less convenient. What surprised me was that there were some tramps alongside the steps on the footbath.
My friend also told me that on the road near our campus, there were new tramps for people to get to the stores.
So I think most infrastructure in scenic spots and the subway, and also the main pathway is more accessible than before.
I am asking my friends for some photos haha.
Thank you for your answer – glad to hear there are improvements!
Yes, please let us see any pictures you get. Pictures are so helpful when showing accessibility – thanks!
hi everyone! I have asked my friend to take pictures of the facilities near our school. She is wheelchair user too. She said that these places did not have tramps before, but these days they changed a lot.
That is great to see there are changes!
My friend from Bloomberg to a video of the accessible toilet and wheelchair seating in the China Railway high speed train:

Yes there was! And took video for you. It's located right by the seating area reserved for wheelchairs pic.twitter.com/5qb1vJ8PHu

wow that looks great!
When I was on the high-speed train, the inside place is similar to this one.
But what seems inconvenient is that the accessible carriage is different in different kinds of train. So please make sure to know which carriage is most accessible.
Yes, that is likely the newest one as well.
Please allow me to recommend a vloger in China.
She works for IT companies in the past, and now she is a full time vloger. She is also a wheelchair user, always recording the accessibility in China.
If anyone is interested in China, you can see her vlog : )
That is great, please maybe start a new discussion so it does not get lost
good idea!
Thanks!
