availability of wheelchair pushers in china

Question

We are traveling to China in OctoberWe have a private guide and private tours throughout.  This is a luxury tour.I am taking a small folding wheelchair IN CASE my husband finds the walking too strenuous.  He is able to walk, but long distances can be a problemThe tour operator has suggested that we hire a wheelchair pusher IN ADVANCE.  The cost is about $80 a day.I have been told that at every major tourist site wheelchair pushers are plentiful and that they charge around $10 an hour at most.Do we really need to hire someone in advance?  There are probably sites where I won't need a pusher.  I can push the wheelchair as well.Thanks for your advice.

It is true that many major attrations provide wheelchairs rental service. You just need to pay deposit and use for free. Generally, it can be convenient, so it is fine that you don't hire a wheelchair pusher in advance with the high cost if you won't go to small and remote sites.
