Why do China tourists prefer squatting toilets to sitting toilets, while foreigners prefer sitting toilets?
Because tourist attractions usually have tourists from all over the world, the toilets in tourist attractions will also be considered in various design details, such as a disabled toilet, a third toilet for parents and children, a maternal and child room and so on. In addition, I don't know if you have noticed that even toilets in tourist attractions are generally divided into two types, one is squatting and the other is sitting.
Tourists in China like to squat when they go to public toilets. First of all, because the squatting pan does not directly contact the body parts, the sanitary level is higher than that of sitting. Although the squatting pan is more laborious to use than the horse bucket, it is a traditional appliance in China, and most people in China are used to it, so it is very popular in China.
However, foreign tourists are different from China tourists. Most foreign tourists are not used to squatting in the toilet. They'll look for toilets. After all, sitting toilets are more comfortable to use. However, for China tourists, using toilets requires direct contact with public toilets, which still makes them feel a little unsanitary.
Secondly, apart from the cultural differences between China people and foreigners, it is said that there are some physiological structural reasons for this difference in usage habits. Because the achilles tendon of most foreigners' heels is shorter than that of China people, they can't squat like China people, so they can only find toilets when they go to public toilets. This is what we say, foreigners will not "asian squat".
