One public toilet in Xiaogang Park was built in a Lingnan style. The outdoor courtyard is enclosed by granite stone railings, giving it an antique feel. The layout of the accessible toilets has been adjusted, and child safety seats and baby care stations have been added.

The Haiyin Bridge public toilet has a layout resembling a Chinese Lingnan garden courtyard, with Chinese-style courtyard arches and wood grain aluminum alloy windows, blending in with the surrounding park landscape. The interiors of the public toilets have been optimized and adjusted to limit moisture, and mother and child facilities have been added.

The public toilet on the market side of Tuhua village, in addition to male and female restrooms, has a third restroom adapted to the needs of special groups.

These renovated public toilets have not only taken on a brand new look, but their interior facilities have also been comprehensively upgraded, making them "scenic spots" in their own right.
