Great Wall in a wheelchair
Is it possible to visit the Great Wall in a wheelchair?

Not possible unless you want to see it from below.

Afraid it's not possible unless you want to see it from below.

Check with your tour company. My mother was in a wheelchair and visited the great wall. I think the men from her tour company carried her and her wheelchair in order to access it.

There are certain areas that have a lift to go up, however, that being said...one you arrive at the top you must go up and down many stairs along the way. It would be impossible with a wheelchair and probably dangerous to be carried.

According to my 96 year old father, apparently there was a "worker's entrance" where they were able to wheel my mother. They did not have to carry her or her wheelchair to get to the Great Wall. I don't know which gate they visited, but it's definitely do-able if you have the right guide to navigate the way. As I said earlier, she was on a tour that was geared to handicapped travelers, so they were familiar with the barriers wheelchair bound people face.
I hope you can find the right people to get you there. |
