Public toilets are a benchmark of urban civilization and a reflection of the quality of urban management. In Lixia District, a vigorous "public toilet revolution" began at the beginning of this year. The Lixia District Urban Management Bureau has stepped up efforts to build, renovate, and upgrade public toilets in bustling and key areas of the city. While increasing the number of public toilets, they are continuously improving their daily management, functional expansion, and cultural inclusion. They have added third toilets, equipped with maternity and childcare facilities, monitoring equipment, facial recognition machines, deodorizers, and other advanced features. Their exteriors are infused with innovative elements and cultural connotations, transforming public toilets into stunning sights. To date, the Lixia District Urban Management Bureau has built five new public toilets and renovated 16.

"Creating the cleanest urban area in the country and building a warm urban management brand is the key goal of Lixia's urban management staff. Improving public toilets is a key component of this commitment to building a warm urban management brand. We aim to ensure that locals and tourists alike experience the improvements in Jinan's urban civilization and management through public toilet management and services," said Xu Lin, Director of the Lixia District Urban Management Bureau.

The third toilet has arrived, with user-friendly designs that meet the diverse needs of residents.

Did you know? Public toilets are now not only divided into men's and women's rooms, but also feature third restrooms, addressing the inconvenience faced by some individuals (e.g., family members of different genders traveling together, where one person is unable to take care of themselves).

In fact, these user-friendly third restrooms are already common in Lixia District. The Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Public Toilet on Wenhua West Road in Lixia District has undergone renovations and upgrades, adding a third restroom. It features an automatic flushing smart toilet, child-friendly toilet facilities, a multi-function table for mothers and babies, and a washbasin, brimming with user-friendly features. Furthermore, the third restroom meets barrier-free design standards, equipped with multiple grab bars for the elderly, disabled, and others.

"When a family travels, if someone of different gender needs assistance, and if it's difficult to use the men's or women's restrooms, the third restroom is a good option," said a representative from the Lixia District Urban Management Bureau. The construction of a third restroom helps embody the humanistic care of the "public toilet revolution."

It's more than just a public toilet, it's also a city station, equipped with Wi-Fi, charging stations, shoe shine, and other amenities.

At the Jiangshuiquan West Road public toilet, resident Mr. Zhang experienced the convenience of facial recognition for dispensing toilet paper. Following the yellow sign on the floor, Mr. Zhang stood in front of the dispenser, and within three seconds, the machine automatically dispensed toilet paper. The dispenser provides enough toilet paper for one person, and if you need more, you have to wait 10 minutes, avoiding unnecessary waste.

Such intelligent design features are common in Lixia District's public toilet upgrades. As Lixia District's "public toilet revolution" progresses, many public toilets are now equipped with facial recognition dispensers, deodorization systems, monitoring systems, and other amenities tailored to their specific needs, such as central air conditioning and water heaters, giving them a fresh look. To expand the public service capabilities of public toilets, Lixia District has also installed mobile phone charging stations, shoe shiners, lighted makeup mirrors, and other amenities, transforming them into convenient city stations.

In terms of management, Lixia District has implemented a star-rated rating system for public toilet management and cleaning. This system refines and quantifies operational processes, cleaning standards, and management details, and scientifically formulates a management assessment and evaluation method for "star-rated public toilets," creating and selecting a number of high-standard "star-rated public toilets."

Each toilet, each with its own unique charm, adds charm. The "public toilet revolution" is creating a new highlight of urban civilization.

Advanced facilities such as third toilets and mobile phone charging stations significantly enhance the hardware of public toilets, while the inclusion of slogans such as famous poems and quotes adds a touch of style and class.

Take the Jiangshuiquan West Road public toilet as an example. The Lixia District Urban Management Bureau designed it to have an antique feel, incorporating the surrounding scenery. A beautiful landscape painting, specially created, graces the exterior wall of the public toilet, a showcase for the city's image, and adds cultural significance.

The Qianxi Public Toilet is located near the Thousand Buddha Mountain Scenic Area. Before its renovation and upgrading, the Lixia District Urban Management Bureau integrated the overall style of the historic scenic area into its design, ensuring that the toilet's exterior and color scheme harmonize with the surrounding environment. Especially at night, passing by the Qianxi Public Toilet, words like "When a gentleman is devoted to his relatives, the people will be inspired to be kind; when old friends are not forgotten, the people will not steal" are vividly displayed on the wall, making them very eye-catching.

Multiple measures are being taken to overcome difficulties and increase the number of mobile public toilets to alleviate the problem of "bathroom accessibility"

Multiple measures are being taken to overcome the difficulties in public toilet construction and meet the public's toilet needs. This year, the Lixia Urban Management Bureau is focusing on public toilet construction. Following the principle of combining "points" and "lines," the Lixia Urban Management Bureau is actively carrying out a "public toilet revolution" through demolition and construction, as well as internal upgrades and renovations. The upgrades are focused on key areas such as tourist attractions and major thoroughfares, as well as those along Qianfoshan West Road, Shungeng Road, Tourism Road, Longding Avenue, and the route from Olympic Sports Center Middle Road to the transfer center.

In addition, the Lixia Urban Management Bureau has purchased two new mobile public toilets. Together with the existing mobile toilet, they form a fleet of three fast and mobile equipment. These can be deployed at any time according to the actual flow of visitors to each tourist attraction and around areas with high toilet usage.

To ensure the restroom needs of tourists visiting the "One Lake, One Ring Road" area, the Lixia District Urban Management Bureau has partnered with surrounding businesses to form a public toilet alliance. Currently, many businesses in areas surrounding Daming Lake and other areas have displayed signs declaring themselves "Urban Toilet Open Alliance Members" and are offering free public access during business hours.
