Hi Bob,
Yes, wheelchairs are supported. The Summer Palace has introduced accessible boats designed specifically for visitors with mobility needs.
These boats are stable and spacious, and they are equipped with barrier-free ramps, making it much easier for wheelchair users to get on and off.
They are also electrically operated, which adds an extra layer of safety and comfort — especially suitable for seniors like your mother-in-law.
If you have any other questions as you finalize your plans — whether about accessibility, logistics, or daily arrangements — feel free to reach out anytime.
By the way, check out Summer Palace Wheelchair Accessible Guide: Paths & Toilets for more information.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful and smooth trip to Beijing!
Warm regards,
Daniel Li
