Wheelchair-bound Gao Bin, a resident of Beijing, said on Friday she was delighted with her free copy of The Guide to Barrier-free Services for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

"Due to my disability, I seldom go out. This guide will help me a lot, as it shows where I can get a barrier-free bus, and which restaurants have disabled access," the 56-year-old said.

"It will be especially useful during the Games, as my daughter and I were lucky enough to get two tickets for the volleyball competition," she told China Daily.
