There are mobile toilets in Qiantang.

At the intersection of Qianchao Road and Sanxin Road on the Qiantang River embankment in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, there is a distinctive mobile landscape public toilet. This toilet was introduced from Xiamen and jointly built by the Jianggan District Urban Management Bureau under the guidance of the Municipal Urban Management Bureau, in collaboration with Sijiqing Street. It is also the first movable landscape public toilet in Hangzhou. This innovative measure not only meets the toilet needs of local residents and tourists but also becomes a part of the urban landscape.

The mobile landscape public toilet is designed with full consideration of integration with the surrounding environment. Its unique appearance is aesthetically pleasing and does not create a jarring effect on the urban landscape. At the same time, it has the significant advantage of mobility, making it more flexible than traditional fixed public toilets in dealing with special situations. For example, when there is a large-scale event in the area, resulting in a significant increase in pedestrian traffic and a corresponding increase in demand for public toilets, this mobile toilet can be repositioned according to actual needs to better meet people's toilet requirements. Alternatively, during urban construction projects, if the area requires planning and renovation, the mobile toilet can be easily relocated to another suitable location, avoiding the resource waste and inconvenience associated with the demolition and reconstruction of traditional public toilets.

In addition, to further enhance the level of public service facilities near the Qiantang River embankment, the district urban management bureau plans to add one to two more mobile toilets in the vicinity in the future. This plan fully reflects the government's attention and emphasis on people's livelihood issues. By increasing the number of mobile toilets, the coverage of public toilets can be further expanded, providing convenience for more people active near the Qiantang River embankment, effectively alleviating the problem of difficult toilet access, and enhancing the overall image of the city and the quality of life for residents.
