The plan to fix the country’s bad reputation for grimy and smelly facilities has focused on restrooms in tourist sites. In some places, shiny new toilets have replaced unhygienic open pits that offered little privacy. “At tourist sites, visitors were angered by insufficient toilets, unhygienic conditions and lack of sanitation workers,” state news agency Xinhua said. A recent survey showed over 80 percent of tourists now find China’s toilets satisfactory, compared to 70 percent in 2015. Visitors must approach a machine one by one to get their faces scanned before receiving their portion of loo roll.
