Safety & Security - Public Facilities

In China, most public toilets are squatting ones which can be found in commercial areas and are usually well-marked. If you need to answer the nature's call, look for a “WC” sign. A useful word to know is cesuo, which is Chinese for toilet. Some public toilets require a small fee, others are free. Most public toilets don't supply toilet paper, so it is advisable to always carry some tissue paper with you at all times. If you can't seem to find a washroom, try to find a McDonalds or KFC, where there is a clean washroom available.
