“Must-Poop List” the Toilet Review Account You've Got To Follow

Beijing has no shortage of food bloggers, nightlife reviewers and café hunters, but now, one RedNote creator is taking things in a whole new direction: the capital's bathrooms.

The account, called 北京必拉榜 běijīng bì lā bǎng, which translates to “Beijijng Must-Poop List,” is a play on the Dianping Must-Eat List and is devoted entirely to reviewing toilets across the city. From high-end malls to subway stops, this blogger is here on a mission to get you all the toilet info you need. 

Each post breaks down the review into some essential categories:

• Space: Is the stall roomy or claustrophobic?
• Smell: Overly perfumed or carrying that authentic bathroom funk?
• Amenities/Services: Does it have toilet paper, soap, hand towels etc.?
• Toilet Count: How many stalls and urinals, are they squat toilets etc.?
• Privacy: How big are the door gaps, how tall are the doors?
• Location: Are they convenient to get to and easy to find?
• Overall Rating: How many stars does it get out of five?

Then, at the end of each post, a poll is included where, if you've also visited the toilet before, you can give your own rating out of 5. 

The dedication of the account creator is pretty impressive; they've even made little toilet awards with “2025必拉榜” printed on them, which are included in the picture for each review. And not only are the reviews useful and in-depth, they're also pretty hilarious. 

If you don't speak Chinese, you can use a translation app on your phone, or, better yet, if you want to appreciate the full snarky humour of the blogger, AI does a pretty decent job. Take a look at this recent review:

“Beijing Must-Poop List: Parkview Green Fangcaodi F1 + B2
This time's toilet review:

• Space: Not huge overall, but the stalls themselves are relatively spacious – if they weren't crammed with stuff. Sit down on the toilet and your face is practically right next to the sink. Feels a bit tight.
• Smell: The public area on F1 is way too heavily perfumed, almost headache-inducing. Inside the stalls it's fine, just a faint trace of the “bathroom smell” you'd expect.
• Amenities/Service: Two nursing rooms, a big shared sink in between, plus two more public sinks further inside. Every stall has its own sink, with toilet paper, hand towels, and toilet sanitizer provided. The stalls feel like airplane lavatories – everything you need, but cramped. Auto-flush included (although when I stood up, it didn't flush. Had to press the button myself. Then, ironically, while washing my hands, it decided to flush automatically).
• Toilet count: six stalls (all toilets) + one small urinal for boys in the public area + two nursing rooms.
• Privacy: Very good. The gap under the stall doors is about the same as most other bathrooms' side gaps (looking at you, APM B1).
• Location: Right at the mall entrance – super easy to find.
• Overall rating: 4/5 stars, worth a poop. (Personally, not as good as WF Central – too cramped, and it doesn't feel as big or luxurious overall.)”

Now, that is what you call a useful, yet humorous toilet review!
