Usually people avoid public toilets due to their stinky, filthy and gag-inducing environment. But the local government in Chongqing, China is looking to turn this opinion around, as they have created a new five-star facility in the Bishan district of Chongqing.

Not only this gives the men to remain preoccupied while using the urinals, but it also increases natural lighting inside the toilet, cutting down on the electricity costs.

Chongqing’s public toilets reportedly cost 800,000 yuan ($115,785), which seems like a lot of money. But hey, at least someone is taking the problem of providing adequate excretory facilities seriously!
