Most public toilets lack Western amenities in China. If toilet paper is available it will be on a role next to the entrance, so be sure to grab some before going into the stall. However, it is not uncommon for public toilets to lack toilet paper so it is a good idea to always have a pack with you. In addition, there will definitely be no paper towels and often no soap, so hand sanitizer is your best bet for achieving clean hands. Lastly, get those legs prepared for the squat toilets in China – they are everywhere.
