BEIJING -- A walk in the park in Nanjing means more than a breath of fresh air outdoors. Visitors to the city's Huashen Lake can also breathe easy in the once-famously filthy toilets since the government's drive to clean up public facilities.
Clean, comfortable and even a bit luxurious, visitors in need of relief are greeted with soothing music, greenery and toilet bowls awash with soapy suds. One almost wants to linger.
