Kunming has set up 149 star-rated toilets in several scenic spots or on the road to tourist attractions, such as in Stone Forest, Yunnan Nationalities Village, Western Hill, etc., according to Kunming Municipal Tourism Development Committee.
In a bid to improve Kunming’s service quality in tourism, all these toilets are designed to protect ecological environment and saving water resources.
For example, a 140-square-meter toilet with costs of over 600,000 yuan built in the Stone Forrest has functions to sterilize excrement and urine, and transform them into organic liquid fertilizers for trees and grass within the park.
The bio-toilet rebuilt in the Stone Forest could save around 70% water resources compared to the previous water-saving ones.
The Municipal Tourism Development Committee preliminarily estimates that of the 149 star-rated toilets, 4 are evaluated as 5-starred toilets, 34 are ranked as 4-starred toilets, 83 as 3-starred toilets and 26 2-starred ones.
