Liu Daming frequents a bookstore beside the second ring road in east downtown Beijing, often spending all day in the establishment. What attracts him is not only its extensive collections but also the convenient accessibility facilities.

"There is no accessible restroom in my office building in Zhongguancun, but there is one next to the bookstore," Liu said.
