Its pretty flat around the Port and the fountains but although they do have dropped kerbs they are still pretty high, I work with adults with learning disabilities and have taken some of them on holiday to other countries so I tend to notice accssibility issues etc and I think PEK is really quite good for people using chairs to get about except for the afore mentioned issue. Good suspension and a comfy cushion and you'll be away.

Taxi's are everywhere so you should be fine, they are just saloon cars, never used the trains so I don't know what they will be like for access. What I will say though that I have seen lots of people with different disabilities when I've been there and staff etc are brilliant at helping out where needed.
