We visited ten Haidilao in Nanjing and discovered these

If you say that you can't live without food all year round, it is hot pot. Who said that travel is just poetry and distance? The same hot pot restaurant has different meanings to different people. For locals, a familiar hot pot restaurant constitutes a part of daily life; for a foreign tourist, a hot pot restaurant is part of the travel experience.

However, as a wheelchair person living in Nanjing, it is not an easy task to go out for a hot pot because of barriers. However, in order to make it easier for people with disabilities to have a reference when traveling, I decided to visit ten Haidilao hot pot restaurants in Nanjing, and found this-

spinning, jumping, and can’t get in without stopping

During the visit, I I found that the plazas where many hot pot restaurants are located like to engage in "enclosure sports" : In order to prevent bicycles and electric vehicles from entering, several steps are set up around the plaza and fenced, so there is no room for wheelchairs, such as Central International Plaza, New Century Plaza, Catherine Plaza, Grand View World. Among them, the square where Daguantiandi is located has developed the spirit of enclosure to the extreme.

Autumn Tiger is showing his power, the sun-melting sunscreen flows into my eyes, and I can't open my eyes. In particular, the crowded electric cars around the square blinded me.

I went around the main entrance of the square, but couldn't find a feasible position for a wheelchair, so I decided to go to the side of the square to find out. The square is next to the sidewalk on the main road, but there are several steps between the sidewalk and the mall.

So I rolled and rolled again in my wheelchair, and actually rolled to a door. At this time, I finally understood that the one I saw when I got off the car was the back door, which was the real front door. The main entrance is more scattered and magnificent, but there is no wheelchair access.

The sun is burning, and my heart is burning with it: in short, that is I am very annoyed. I couldn't find the entrance to the wheelchair, but I kept turning around and finally turned to the gate of a parking lot on the side of the square. The landing rod of the gate is shorter than the landing rod of the general parking lot, and there is a little gap beside it, you can probably get in from here.


Most of the shopping malls I visited this time were using fences to restrict the entry and exit of non-motorized vehicles . When the designer designed the square, in order to ensure that the site is not occupied and facilitate management, set up barriers with steps and railings. This method greatly reduces the management cost, but it also increases the access for the disabled and small carts. Difficulty.

I visited several such shopping malls, and finally found a passage that is convenient for people with disabilities, that is VVVIP passage-take a car into the parking lot, and then take the elevator from the parking lot to enter the mall. People with cars not only have an absolute advantage in the blind date market, they are also one step ahead in the barrier-free market.

We kindly refer to these businesses as disabled-friendly private cars, and this kind of disabled-friendly private cars accounts for six of the ten companies I visited. The

toilet revolutionized, but the door was rebelled.

Haidilao has always been famous for its thoughtful service and clean toilets, at least this is what the draft says. The Haidilao toilets in the

Daguantiandi store are self-built, and they are very clean. Each room has toilet paper, and there are also toilets without steps.

However, later I looked at several Haidilao toilets and found out that they have two types of toilets, one is Haidilao’s self-built type, and the other is a borrowed shopping mall type . Haidilao’s self-built toilets will at least be equipped with a stepless toilet. As for the store’s own, it depends on the conscience of the store. The

Zhonghuan International Store is the first store I visited. The plaza is also disabled-friendly by private cars. There are several big steps at the door.

I arrived at Haidilao, and after explaining my intention to them, their staff led me to the bathroom. The store is spacious and tidy, and the bathroom is clean and odor-free, especially the large maternity and infant table hung on the wall which surprised me.

However, the barrier-free toilet pointed to me by the staff at disappointed me, because there were steps in front of me and I couldn't get in with wheelchairs. I am euphemisticAfter expressing the difficulty, they did not respond effectively.

Then I visited several more, only to know that Haidilao will have at least one toilet without steps, especially the self-built toilets like Zhonghuan International Haidilao, the standard will be higher. So I guess that the staff did not show me the lack of accessibility awareness. This also indirectly proves that there is no disability service related to the training of staff.

Catherine Plaza in Nanjing is built on the hillside, abandoning high-rise buildings, it is like an urban garden, the overall tone is high-class and fresh. The planned garden of such an advanced level, of course, will not allow the parking of non-motorized vehicles to destroy the overall atmosphere, so it is also a private car handicapped-friendly, but there are often ramps next to the stairs in the garden, so we can't fully say It has no sense of disability.

This Haidilao has three entrances, of which there is a straight ladder for wheelchair users to enter. Needless to say after entering, Haidilao’s dining area has no steps. All entrances are basically ramps, and they are also non-slip ramps, and there is also a toilet without steps.

New World Department Store is a veteran mall, but this veteran mall is still slightly handicapped. There is a ramp at the entrance side of the main entrance and there are handrails in the elevator. This Haidilao toilet is shared with other restaurants in the mall, but you can rest assured that Haidilao’s toilets, whether self-built or rented in the mall, will be equipped with a service staff, and some will also put paper.

But this bathroom is also very funny. There is a stepless toilet in the bathroom, but there is a step at the entrance of this bathroom.

The farthest distance in the world is obviously the toilet is in front of me, but I can't get in.

New Century Plaza, disabled-friendly private car. Not only is it surrounded by stairs and railings, but there is also a step at the entrance to the field. Take the vertical ladder in the mall to reach Haidilao. The toilet is shared with the mall, and there is a toilet room without steps.

Maoye Tiandi was the object of my criticism during this visit. It is rare that there are no steps around a square. As a result, it is a small step at the entrance of the mall that is painless and upset when you look at it. The Starbucks next to it knows that Make a small slope, and wheelchair users can probably turn in from Starbucks. The Haidilao toilet in

is shared with the mall. There is a row of squat pits and a row of toilets in a bathroom, all of which have steps. Later, I went to see the toilets on other floors of the mall. Haidilao just filled it with paper.

Golden Eagle Plaza is a newly opened plaza. The first half of the day I went there was not completed yet. It is rare that this is a shopping mall with a sense of disability. This is a private car handicapped-friendly mall, and each bathroom has a toilet room without steps. What is even more rare is that on the negative first floor of this mall, has a very complete barrier-free toilet with wheelchair signs.

Haidilao’s Jiangning store and Changle Road store are good brothers. There are barrier-free ramps on the side of the entrance of their mall. When I visited the Jiangning store, the staff showed me the toilet room inside. There is a handicap sign on the toilet room door. There is no step at the entrance, but there is only a toilet and a sink inside. There are no handrails or standing toilets with handrails. And I opened the door and there are a lot of toilet rolls stacked next to the toilet. It seems that this room is basically not used. The Haidilao of

Changle Road store is very barrier-free from the entrance to the inside, and there is also a very complete barrier-free toilet inside. Folding wheelchairs are also placed inside. If you don’t visit specifically like me, you probably won’t know that Haidilao stores will have spare wheelchairs. Why does

say that it is a good brother to the Jiangning store, because its barrier-free bathroom has the same pile of debris as the Jiangning store. When I went in, there were two small pushes used by Haidilao to push dishes. Car, unfortunately the staff when taking picturesI pushed it away, I was still too innocent, I knew I should be careful. The entrance to the shopping mall of

Yellow River Building store has barrier-free access. Haidilao’s waiting area is on the second floor. It may be because of the design of the store’s door face that they only installed an escalator. There is a spare wheelchair at the counter at the gate, neatly placed there. After I explained my intention to the staff, they showed me their own toilet and a toilet for the disabled.

According to the staff of Haidilao, spare wheelchairs are generally used by elderly people with limited mobility, but no disabled people come to eat in the store . In the staff's understanding, elderly people who are in wheelchairs or have limited mobility are not the same as disabled people.

In the barrier-free bathroom, there is no pile of debris and it is very clean. But I don't know why, the staff must enter a password before entering.

I asked the staff whether there is a straight elevator, he said that one of the staff used the freight elevator is a straight elevator. So I walked around to the back of Haidilao and saw this elevator. Although this elevator is not so beautifully decorated, it works.

It's a pity that I checked the surrounding paths, and if I want to use this elevator to go up, it's another disabled-friendly private car. Simply put, the road is surrounded by railings. If your legs are inconvenient, you can only get there by passing the gate in a private car.

After this investigation, I found that the barrier-free in Nanjing urban construction, especially the barrier-free in public consumption places, is gradually improving. As a leading enterprise in the consumer industry, Haidilao has made initial developments in the construction of barrier-free facilities and training of service personnel's disability awareness, but it still needs to be improved, especially the handling of many details is not in place.

The barrier-freeness of a consumer place requires multi-party participation and coordination. Take Haidilao as an example. The accessibility of the entrance of Haidilao and the accessibility of toilets involve the construction of the shopping mall itself. The parking and fences outside the shopping mall involve the department of urban management, which requires developers, governments, businesses, etc. Stakeholder participation.

However, accessibility is not a simple political or moral task. Only the consumer places with barrier-free facilities can really guide the disabled and the elderly with mobility difficulties to use it, which will eventually allow businesses to increase their turnover. The improvement of barrier-free facilities will ultimately benefit everyone.
