Xinjiang's Mobile Toilets Worth Over 2 Million Yuan

There are mobile toilets in Xinjiang worth over 2 million yuan, but this does not mean there are 2 million such toilets. Here are the details:

Tourist Star-rated Public Toilet in Chonghu'er Town, Burqin County

In Chonghu'er Town, Burqin County, Xinjiang, there is a tourist star-rated public toilet located beside Provincial Road S232. It serves as a supporting facility for the Kanas International Tourism Resort. This public toilet was put into use in July 2013, with the cost of its facilities reaching over 2 million yuan. Its design is highly distinctive, having engaged a designer from an international architectural consortium. The interior decoration is luxurious, featuring ceiling lights, marble walls and floors, solid wood doors with golden handles, and sensor-operated hand-washing basins embedded with LCD TV screens. In terms of capacity, it can accommodate more than 50 people using the toilet simultaneously, and during the peak season in 2013, it received up to 3,000 visitors in a single day. Moreover, every wooden column and floor tile inside has been carefully selected and customized, with each urinal costing over 10,000 yuan. These details illustrate the reasons for its high construction cost.

Mobile Toilets at Koktokay Ski Resort

There are also mobile toilets worth over 2 million yuan at the Koktokay Ski Resort. Some tourists have mentioned that these mobile toilets are even more expensive than recreational vehicles, and there are two such toilets at the Koktokay Ski Resort. The high cost of these mobile toilets may be due to the special usage environment and requirements of the ski resort. The ski resort experiences a large flow of people, especially during the peak tourist season, resulting in extremely high usage frequency of the toilets. Therefore, they need to be more durable and stable. At the same time, to enhance the overall experience of tourists, more attention is paid to the quality and comfort of the facilities. Advanced sewage treatment technologies and high-quality building materials may have been used, all of which have significantly increased the cost.
