Storyline


A toilet-finding app in China has helped more than 100,000 users find a nearby bathroom since it became operational on World Toilet Day last November.

The platform, developed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, is part of China's toilet revolution. It can not only locate the nearest public toilet for its users but also shows some detailed information about the toilets like whether or not there is Wi-Fi or a breastfeeding room.

Users of the platform can get quick directions to the nearest restroom both on an app called City Toilets or via the city's toilet cloud platform on WeChat.

"The toilet platform can not only help users find toilets but also enable them to communicate with management departments. They can give us some feedback and expectations of public toilets through the platform," said Yang Haiying, deputy director-general of the ministry's urban construction department.

A total of 216 prefecture-level cities in 19 provinces and cities across China including Tianjin, Fujian, Hainan, Guangdong and Henan, are using the platform to collect data about public toilets. Nearly 330,000 pieces of information about some 19,000 public toilets have been collected so far.
