The stunning mountain and sea views in the northeast corner of the city attract countless tourists from home and abroad every year. However, what often amazes and warms the hearts of travelers is the clean, bright, and welcoming public toilet hidden in a corner of the scenic area.
In the recently announced public restroom evaluation results, the Northeast Coast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area Administration of the Tourism Administration, Ministry of Transportation and Communications (hereinafter referred to as the Northeast Coast Administration) won three major awards in New Taipei City and Yilan County. The public restroom at Fulong Visitor Center won the Gold Award in the "Tourism and Recreation Group" of New Taipei City; while the public restroom at the south entrance of Caoling Tunnel and the outdoor public restroom on the 1st floor of Zhuangwei Sand Dunes Tourist Service Park won the Silver Award and Bronze Award respectively in the "Tourism Area and Scenic Area" public restroom evaluation in Yilan County. These awards are not only an affirmation of the aesthetics of the physical environment, but also the most sincere gratitude to the unsung heroes who silently protect travelers' daily lives and convey the warmth of the city.
The Northeast Coast National Scenic Area Administration has been committed to optimizing the tourist environment in the area, hoping to break the stereotype of public restrooms as cold and unfriendly. The designs are family-friendly, featuring changing tables and low handwashing stations. The toilet stalls also offer privacy, ensuring users feel safe and undisturbed. With the dedicated efforts of cleaning staff, a clean, refreshing, and odor-free environment is created, allowing every traveler to feel cared for even during a short stay. In the future, the Northeast Coast National Scenic Area Administration will continue to optimize public restrooms within its jurisdiction, focusing on "environmental friendliness" and "low-carbon sustainability" to create a warmer and more welcoming tourism experience.
