A city in South Korea has added a new attraction to its cultural landscape(景观)—the world’s first “Toilet Theme Park”. The Restroom Cultural Park in the city of Suwon is proving a huge hit with locals and tourists alike.
The park was built to memorize the former city mayor Sim Jae-duck, known as “Mr. Toilet”. He believed the toilet is a very important place and full of culture. Visitors to the park can enjoy its toilet- bowl- shaped exhibition hall as well as lots of bronze statues(铜像) in all kinds of toilet positions. They can even sit on Mr. Kim’s original toilet, which includes a full-length glass door that mists(蒙上薄雾) up when it is being used.
Suwon has become well known because of the promotion(宣传) of toilet culture. The city attracts toilet- related artwork from around the world to its galleries. It famously hosts the Golden Poop Art Festival- a celebration of one of the calls of nature. The city also lists lots of its own public toilets as tourist attractions on its website. Sim Jae-duck’s toilet-shaped house, now a museum, should be the must-see for enthusiasts. It’s said that Mr. Sim was born in the loo of his mother’s house, so he loved toilets very much. He said in 2007, “The toilet can save humankind from diseases and is a place for introspection(反省). The toilet is also a central living place that has culture.”
