Experience the barrier-free facilities of Beijing Winter Paralympic Village in a wheelchair
After the barrier-free facilities transformation, how about eating, living and walking in the Winter Paralympic Village? The reporter of the main station used a wheelchair and personally experienced it in the Beijing Winter Paralympic Village.
The reception hall of the delegation of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Village is the first stop for delegations to come to the village. In order to facilitate the rapid and safe passage of wheelchair users, in the security inspection link, there is no need to pass the narrower security gate, there is a special green channel, and the security personnel conduct a hand inspection.
After completing the formalities in the reception hall of the delegation, you can reach the residential area. There are special battery cars at the door to pick up the members of the delegation and their luggage.
The model room of the Winter Paralympic Athletes' Apartment has many barrier-free facilities. For example, all doors are sliding doors that can be operated with one arm, as well as handrails, bath stools, and so on. Inside the bedroom is a bed for wheelchair users, and the foot of the bed is lowered by 10 cm compared to the time of the Winter Olympics, making it easy to get on and off the bed. There is a throw pillow at the head of the bed. On one side is the emblem leap of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, and on the other side is the mascot of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, Xue Rongrong. Once opened, it becomes a blanket with sports icons for each event of the Winter Paralympic Games. This pillow will be given to athletes at that time.
The athlete's restaurant is located on the south side of the building where the athletes live, so it is easy to come by. When you enter the restaurant, there are also many barrier-free designs. For example, take the plate very low and within reach. Of course, our staff will also be very helpful to hand it over. To the dining table, you can see that there is a 30 cm wide edge, if it is a one-armed athlete, you can easily drag this plate to each to take the meal. The spacing between the tables is still relatively large, and the height of the table is also suitable for wheelchair athletes, who can come directly here to eat. At the time of the Winter Olympics, our Chinese cuisine like dumplings and roast duck has been on the hot search, so what star dishes will be listed in the Winter Paralympic Games? We'll see and keep recording.
