Previously toilets at the famed Summer Palace saw long line-ups. Now, seating had been provided while they wait. Diaper tables have also been installed for tourists' convenience. The upgraded toilets are all equipped with free soap and tissue and offer the disabled easy access and usage. Each month, the Summer Palace's 23 toilets consumed 4,752 rolls of tissue, 214 liters of soap and 57.5 liters of detergent, a park spokesman said. The expenditure on tissues alone in the 11 parks stood at 1.5 million yuan annually, an official with the park administration center said. |
