superior category (4\/5 stars) with rooms for the disabled and a good level of general accessibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tourist attractions<\/strong> are in many cases accessible via slides or alternative routes.<br \/>\nThe central areas of the main cities have wide sidewalks with curb cuts.<\/p>\n<p>High-speed <strong>trains<\/strong> are accessible and comfortable<br \/>\nThey connect the main cities of China to the most advanced part of the country.<br \/>\nThey can be a valid alternative to flights that connect the same cities but which do not allow you to admire the Chinese reality outside the metropolis.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible to request <strong>medical, nursing, personal and tourist assistance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This information confirms our motto
