Public toilets epitomize a city's civilization. Kunshan city in Jiangsu province has paid great attention to its public toilet system, which is also one of the top concerns of the public. It is seeking more hygienic and environmentally-friendly toilets.

The number of public toilets in Kunshan is decreasing due to issues of relocation and reconstruction. Currently, the central city has 65 toilets, which are used 400 to 1,000 times each day, bringing significant pressure for cleaners.

In August 2014, the city's environment sanitation bureau launched a project to adjust the toilet layout, renovate old toilets and improve the sanitation environment. The city built more toilets in parks and scenic spots to provide visitors with more convenience. In addition, the sanitation facilities have been replaced with clean, well-maintained flush toilets. Most of the toilets have wheelchair access.

At the same time, the environment sanitation bureau has launched a toilet map on its official WeChat. Residents can scan the QR code to find the nearest toilet. The map has also been put up in the city's commercial areas.
