Characteristic Mobile Toilets in Xuhui District

The characteristic mobile toilets in Xuhui District are mainly reflected in the widespread installation of packaged mobile toilets and the renovation for the elderly and children.

Packaged Mobile Toilets

• Widespread Distribution: Packaged mobile toilets are commonly installed in Xuhui District, covering public places, business districts, parks, and areas around transportation hubs. For example, along the Xuhui Riverside Promenade, near landmarks such as the Oil Tank Art Center and the Long Museum, there is one every 1-2 kilometers. In the Xujiahui business district, they are distributed around the Xujiahui subway station, near Ganghui Plaza, and around the perimeter of Metro City. They are also set up in green spaces such as Xujiahui Park, Xiangyang Park, and Longhua Park. Similar toilets can be found near the Shanghai Indoor Stadium, Shanghai South Railway Station (in the Xuhui area), and Caoxi Road Bus Station.
• Environmentally Friendly Design: Packaged mobile toilets adopt an environmentally friendly design. After use, they do not require flushing but are directly sealed, reducing water consumption and sewage discharge. This design not only aligns with environmental protection concepts but also lowers maintenance costs for the toilets. In case of equipment failure, users can call the Shanghai Sanitation Service Hotline for consultation, facilitating timely problem-solving.

Public Toilets Renovated for the Elderly and Children

• Hardware Renovation: For elderly-friendly facilities, the indoor floor height is lowered, rounded anti-collision designs are used along with wall anti-collision strips. Emergency call buttons are installed beside toilet stalls, the entrance is widened, and wooden anti-slip handrails are added to the walls, providing a safe and convenient environment for the elderly. For child-friendly facilities, there are dedicated children's toilets, floor-mounted urinals, and low-level sinks. Inside the toilet stalls, there are child safety seats and baby-holding boards on the walls, addressing the urgent needs of parents taking children out.
• Smart Upgrades: Sensor faucets and sensor flushing devices are widely installed, optimizing lighting and ventilation systems, and enhancing the user experience. The "Hui Xun Ce" WeChat mini-program has been launched, allowing users to check the locations, opening hours, and walking distances of nearby public toilets in real-time. It also supports filtering conditions such as "closest", "no queue", and "elderly and child-friendly". Some public toilets are open 24 hours a day with clear and eye-catching signs, facilitating use by citizens at any time.
• Integration into Streetscapes: The exterior design of public toilets blends with the surrounding environment. For example, the exterior design of the Chaling Green Space public toilet complements the surrounding green landscape, with wooden elements paired with green plants. Inside, unified convenience service and civilized promotion boards are set up, meeting functional needs while enhancing the urban landscape quality.
