Mobile Toilets in Chengdu Tourist Attractions
The mobile toilets in Chengdu tourist attractions are of various types, advanced in functionality, flexible in purchase and lease, and some have reached high-standard evaluation levels.
Types of Mobile Toilets
- Foam-sealing Type: The most eco-friendly option, using foam to cover waste without the need for flushing, suitable for scenic spots and parks with high environmental protection requirements.
- Mechanical Packaging Type: Convenient and time-saving, automatically packaging waste with film, suitable for construction sites, picnics, and other scenarios, facilitating easy cleaning and transportation.
- Water-flushing Direct-discharge Type: With strong flushing power, it can quickly and effectively remove waste, commonly used in commercial area renovations to meet the needs of areas with high hygiene requirements.
- Simple Single-squat Type: Inexpensive, costing only 2,500 yuan, suitable for temporary events such as exhibitions and performances, and can be flexibly arranged according to event needs.
Functions and Services
Some mobile toilets are advanced in functionality, such as the Zhongyunhui 5G Smart Carbon-neutral Public Toilet. It has digital scheduling capabilities, allowing users to receive real-time occupancy status of nearby public toilets based on location information through a mobile app. The high-definition screen at the entrance displays the number of available toilet stalls, air quality index, and estimated waiting time. The system automatically completes headcounts and stall allocation, significantly improving toilet stall turnover efficiency during peak hours. Adopting a "waterless flushing, odorless, and pollution-free" technical approach, the toilet has no water tank or flush button inside. The squat toilet opens and closes via gravity sensing, and waste directly enters the bottom degradation tank, eliminating the need for manual flushing throughout the process, preventing water splashing, and maintaining good odor control. A single public toilet can save approximately 3,000 tons of water annually, with a fecal degradation rate exceeding 96%, and can operate stably in high-altitude and low-oxygen environments. Additionally, the touch screen on the toilet exterior wall not only serves for basic navigation but also integrates recommendations for nearby attractions, hotel and dining information, and seasonal cultural and tourism activities. It generates personalized suggestions based on user dwell time and query preferences, forming a closed-loop model of "toilet use + cultural and tourism services."
Purchase and Lease Options
The Chengdu mobile toilet solution offers flexible purchase and lease options to meet different event needs. Leasing is more cost-effective for short-term events, saving costs; it is advisable for scenic spots to have dedicated cleaning staff to ensure the hygiene and user experience of mobile toilets.
Evaluation Status
In the first half of 2025, Chengdu conducted an inspection and evaluation of tourist toilets. Five tourist toilets, including the restroom at Giant Panda Villa No. 3 in the Chenghua District Panda Base, met the standards for Class I tourist toilets, while 105 tourist toilets, including the restroom at the Shark Tank in the Tianfu New Area Polar Ocean World, met the standards for Class II tourist toilets.
