Portable Toilet for Self-Driving to Tibet
When self-driving to Tibet, consider using portable toilet solutions or getting to know the toilet situation along the way in advance and making preparations.
Portable Toilet Solutions: Hengjie Sanitary Ware has launched the "Mobile Full-Sanitation Experience Space", which places high-quality sanitary facilities in vehicles and drives them onto National Highway 318. For example, the two solutions "Joy·Jinran" and "Joy·Yufeng" include products such as the R9 smart toilet and the T7 showerhead. This portable toilet solution offers great convenience for self-driving tours, reflecting that even in a relatively free and casual travel style like self-driving tours, people's requirements for the quality of life have not decreased. It is a relatively novel option that can enhance the travel experience. However, this solution may require a certain amount of financial investment and vehicle space support, and is suitable for self-drivers who have high requirements for the quality of life and possess the corresponding conditions.
Toilet Situation Along the Way: When self-driving on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, finding toilets can be a difficult issue, and it is hard to plan toilets in advance. The toilet situations at gas stations or rest areas in many remote places are unstable. There may be situations where the toilets are locked, cannot be flushed due to lack of water, or have a shabby environment. Therefore, it is recommended to stop at any toilet you see on the road regardless of whether you have the urge to urinate, so as to avoid not being able to find a suitable toilet later.
Toilet Details on Some Road Sections: On some sections of National Highway 318 in Sichuan-Tibet, the toilet situations vary. On the Chengdu-Ya'an-Tianquan section, the Tianquan Service Area has complete facilities and can provide a relatively good toilet environment for self-drivers. On the Kangding-Zheduoshan section, the public toilets at the Zheduoshan Service Area are small, dirty, and smelly, with many stalls broken and not repaired, and the conditions are poor. On the Xinduqiao-Yajiang-Kazila Mountain section, the toilets at the Xinduqiao Service Area are relatively clean, and the toilets at the Kazila Mountain Service Area charge 1 yuan. They have ceramic squat pans that can be flushed and do not smell bad.
Preparation Suggestions: Given the uncertainty of the toilet situation along the way, it is best to keep wet wipes or simple cleaning supplies in the car so that you can do simple cleaning to maintain personal hygiene when the toilet conditions are not good.
