Nestled in the heart of Beijing’s Qianmen Hutong, Naga Tree Cafe has emerged as a sanctuary for individuals with disabilities, offering a unique blend of social enterprise and public welfare. Founded by Ren Jiayi, an entrepreneur with disabilities who has undergone double titanium hip replacements due to ankylosing spondylitis, the cafe stands as China’s first inclusive space of its kind. Since its inception a year ago, Naga Tree has become a spiritual refuge, providing a platform for wheelchair users, visually or hearing-impaired individuals, and others to express themselves freely and confidently. The cafe sustains its 756-square-meter space through diverse revenue streams, including venue rentals, brand collaborations, and the sale of coffee-related products. Beyond conventional facilities like ramps and adjustable tables, Naga Tree is equipped with state-of-the-art restrooms featuring automatic doors, transfer boards, and an anti-fainting system that ensures safety by opening the door automatically if no movement is detected within 25 minutes. Ren emphasizes that accessibility is not merely about meeting government standards but about addressing the real needs of people with disabilities. Naga Tree also serves as a social classroom for the disability community, where blind visitors enjoy music and borrow braille books, and wheelchair users mingle freely in a barrier-free setting. A regular visitor described it as ‘more than just a cafe,’ highlighting its role as a transitional space where individuals regain confidence and reintegrate into society. Xu Yanchun, an accessibility supervisor in Beijing, praised Naga Tree for its meticulous attention to detail and its employment of people with disabilities, providing them with opportunities for work and social interaction. Xu added that the success of small businesses like Naga Tree inspires others to follow suit, creating more opportunities and spaces for people with disabilities to work and engage in social activities within society.
