Admin October 11, 2026

Shanghai's movable public toilets come in a variety of types and are widely distributed, covering multiple functions and designs to meet the needs of different scenarios.

I. Upgraded Movable Toilets in Pudong New Area
Pudong New Area has completed the upgrading and renovation of movable toilets in high-traffic areas (such as 7 locations including Haitong Road and Meihua Road, Century Avenue and Weifang Road, Zhangyang Road and Miaopu Road). These toilets feature light beige and light brown as the main colors, complemented by dark blue borders and local accents, presenting a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing appearance. In terms of functional design, barrier-free access and stainless steel handrails have been added to facilitate use by the disabled and the elderly. The ordinary toilet stalls are fully equipped, and "age-friendly and child-friendly toilet stalls" have been created, with electronic screens displaying real-time toilet stall occupancy status to improve usage efficiency. Among them, the toilet at the intersection of Century Avenue and Weifang Road has also added a "sanitation station", providing facilities such as refrigerators, shower rooms, microwaves, and charging ports for sanitation workers, demonstrating humanistic care.

II. Plastic Movable Toilets
There are movable toilets in Shanghai primarily made of plastic, provided for lease or sale by relevant companies, covering surrounding areas such as Nantong and Suzhou. These toilets are typically used in scenarios such as construction sites and temporary event venues, characterized by lightweight, easy installation, and low cost, but with relatively basic functions, mainly meeting temporary excretion needs.

III. Movable Toilets in Specific Venues
A Qibao Temple Station Movable Toilet is located inside the Heavenly King Hall at No. 1205 Xinzhen Road, Qibao Town, Minhang District, serving religious venues and surrounding tourists, demonstrating the adaptability of movable toilets in cultural tourism scenarios.

IV. High-Tech Environmentally Friendly Movable Toilets
The Huajie Movable Toilets developed by Shanghai Huajie Ecological Environment Engineering Co., Ltd. cover various types:

  • Solar-Powered Environmentally Friendly Toilets: Utilize solar power to reduce reliance on traditional energy sources;
  • Rainwater Collection Water-Saving Toilets: Achieve water resource recycling through rainwater collection systems;
  • Lightweight Assembled Movable Toilets: Feature modular design for easy and quick disassembly and transportation.
    These toilets serve special venues such as the 101st floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center and provide temporary sanitation facility solutions for large-scale events such as the Beijing Olympics, Shanghai World Expo, and marathon events, highlighting their advantages of strong mobility and energy efficiency.

Shanghai's movable public toilets, through functional segmentation and technological innovation, not only meet daily livelihood needs but also serve high-end commerce and large-scale events, forming a multi-tiered and widely covered public service network.
