| | Style: | western & squat | | Comments: | Urinate into slender marble columns while enjoying a panoramic view of Hong Kong. The toilet apparently has a 260 degree surround view. Then wash your hands over a giant marble table and watch the water overflow the edges. Dry off with a hot towel from the servant. |

Lantau Island The Buddhist monastery at the world's largest outdoor Buddha
| Rating: | BAD | | Hours: | 24hr | | Gender: | | | Fee: | free | | Details: | | | Style: | | | Comments: | The bathroom facilities, specifically, the women's bathrooms, were a mixed lot. As far as I could tell, there are two women's facilities: one near the entrance to the compound and one further down (it's hard to describe the exact location). The first bathroom we encountered was at the lower level, near the base of the huge Buddha. I had put off using the facilities for some time and seemed ready to develop a urinary tract infection if I didn't relieve myself. I was excited to find a well-marked ladies' room...only to find that it consisted of artistic, elaborately tiled pits (the infamous 'Turkish toilet'). Now, we were wearing jeans and sneakers. How we were supposed to use this facility without undressing from the waist down was beyond me; even if we were to remove our jeans, the privacy screen only reached the top of my ribcage. Deciding that relieving myself here with any dignity was logistically impossible, I decided to risk any damage that 'holding it in' would entail. Then I remembered seeing a sign for a ladies' room closer to the entrance of the compound. In desperation, I figured that nothing could have been worse than the 'Turkish toilet' and investigated that alternative near the main plaza. To my relief, there were modern toilets...with no toilet paper. But even the drip-dry method was better than attempting those very nicely tiled pits. The moral of the story is to always bring a package of tissues with you, no matter where you go. |

Al's Diner (Lan Kwai Fung)
D'Aguilar Street| Rating: | BAD | | Hours: | 24hr | | Gender: | | | Fee: | free | | Details: | | | Style: | | | Comments: | Al's bathrooms are commonly 'challenged' on Friday and Saturday nights... offering a wide array of obstacles and quandary-initiating items, such as trails of vomit, small puddles of urine (as party-goers seek to maximize their proximity to the actual porcelain pot), an occasionally clogged and overflowing reciprical unit and small mounds of littered paper towels and toilet refuse. This place is not for the weak of stomach. I recommend a more cautious approach to the fulfillment of one's excretion desires by exiting the immediate proximity, strolling to a nearby bar and utilizing the more tantalizing prospect of more sanitary relief sites... Upon completion, however, return to Al's and treat yourself to an overpriced Jell-O-shot... as a reward to your wily executed bathroom maneuvers. |

outside sitting Budha
| Rating: | BAD | | Hours: | 24hr | | Gender: | squatter | | Fee: | free | | Details: | | | Style: | western & squat | | Comments: | I was on a tour of lantau island and was told to bring tp and the bathrooms would all be squatters. I skipped the first one but soon it was time. We stopped at the world's largest sitting Budha and I noticed there was a port o potty like we have in the US. I figured I had outsmarted everybody else until I opened the and realized it too was a squatter. You had to climb up on it and stand sideways. Definitely not for the physically impaired! |

Public washrooms near bus stop| Rating: | BAD | | Hours: | 24hr | | Gender: | | | Fee: | free | | Details: | | | Style: | | | Comments: | Although a step up from the years when this washroom was toilets over an open trough (I kid you not) , the cleanliness or lack thereof is still awful. It smells like something large has died there some time ago and been left to rot. It is so repulsive I cannot even approach it no matter how desperate. |
