Cohen Place in Melbourne’s Chinatown, looking toward the Chinese Museum (Museum of Chinese Australian History) at 22 Cohen Place. A large red vertical banner marks the museum entrance direction. The footpath is paved and relatively level, with red lanterns overhead. Shared-zone signage and a 10 km/h limit are visible.
Entrance to Tong Ren Tang (北京同仁堂), a Chinese medicine shop and clinic near the Chinese Museum. Two steps lead up from the street to the open red double doors. The interior has polished wooden floors and traditional décor. The step creates a barrier for wheelchair users.
Side/street-level entrance to Tong Ren Tang on a brick building in Chinatown. A modern glass door with automatic closer sits at pavement level, with yellow tactile indicators at the threshold. A red vertical banner displays the Chinese name. This doorway appears more level than the main stepped entrance.
Level polished timber flooring inside the Tong Ren Tang building (near the Chinese Museum). A staircase leads to upper consultation rooms (Rooms 4 & 5). The internal floor is flat once inside, though access from the street requires steps at the main entrance.
The Museum of Chinese Australian History at 22 Cohen Place has step-free access from the laneway, with a wide but heavy front door that staff can assist with. Inside, the ground, first, second and third floors are fully reachable by lift, while the basement uses a steeper curved ramp that may require assistance; all exhibitions are accessible for wheelchair and walking-frame users. A fully accessible toilet is available on the first floor, there is no on-site parking or café, and nearby paid parking and many Chinatown eateries are within short walking distance.
