"It's really like walking on the ground, like walking in the park at home." Mr. Jiang said that it was thanks to the cableway, elevator, escalator and other equipment in the scenic area, which cleared all the obstacles for him.

For healthy people, a ladder, a small ridge, easy to step over. But for wheelchair users, it is a gap that is difficult to cross. Even in the barrier free toilet, if there is no safe grab bar, it is very inconvenient for them.
