- discussion comment6 years agoHong Kong in a wheelchair?WheelieTennesseeThat's good to hear about the taxis! Looks like the elevator would be fine, unless it breaks down while I'm there. In which case, I'd definitely tip the meseros well if they carried me up the stairs. I'm planning on going either in September or October for a Monday and Tuesday. So if anyone is planning a trip around then and wouldn't mind some company, definitely message me!
- discussion comment6 years agoHong Kong in a wheelchair?WheelieTennesseeThanks everyone for the replies and messages! Great info. I've emailed the hotel for more info - just waiting on a response. I know it will be challenging - but I'm more independent than a typical wheelchair person. My main criteria is needing a ramp or elevator and a room that has enough space for a wheelchair. I might have to upgrade to a suite - but that's fine. I don't 'need' many items that are found in a US ADA complaint room. I also have concern about getting from the border to HK. I travel for work. I'm used to jumping into ubers or cabs and instructing the driver to toss my chair into the trunk for me. But the language barrier might be a problem. Will the cab drivers understand enough english to understand my instructions? I have a simple chair. No disassembly required. Just fold it up and toss it into a trunk.
