The porcelain god[瓷神，比喻厕所] finally gets its altar[祭坛] at South Korea’s Haewoojae， loosely translated as “a place of sanctuary[避难所] where one can solve one’s worries.” However， it is better known in English as the Toilet Culture Exhibit Hall and Theme Park.
The toilet park officially opened on July 4th， 2012. It started life as the vision of Sim Jae-duck， known as Mr. Toilet thanks to his efforts to improve the city toilets at the 2002 World Cup when he served as the mayor of Suwon City， South Korea， where the park is now located. He also helped found the World Toilet Association[协会]， which is dedicated[致力] to improving sanitation[卫生设施] around the world.
被戏称为“瓷神”的厕所现在终于在韩国的“Haewoojae”有了属于自己的祭坛。“Haewoojae”翻译过来的大意是“一个可以排忧解难的避难所”，不过在英语中则多以“厕所文化展览馆及主题公园”一名为人所知。
这个厕所公园于2012年7月4日正式开放。它的诞生源自被誉为“厕所先生”的沈载德的创想。2002年世界杯期间，时任韩国水原市市长的沈载德为了改善该市的厕所而有了这个想法，主题公园正坐落于此。他还协助成立了致力改善世界各地卫生情况的世界厕所协会。
In 2007， Sim constructed the world’s first toilet-shaped house in Suwon City， in which he lived until his death in 2009. After he passed away， the house was converted[转换] into a museum， documenting[用文件证明] the world’s water closet[厕所] culture through men and women’s bathroom signs from around the globe， photographs of public toilets and information about the importance of sanitary[有关卫生的] bathroom facilities[设备].
The museum was expanded into a theme park in 2012， complete with different styles of toilets， such as squat[蹲坐] toilets traditionally used in Korea， European chamber pots[夜壶] and historical urinals[小便池]. While visitors are welcome to pretend like they’re relieving themselves[解手]（making for some fun photo opportunities）， the park has its own set of modern bathrooms available[可用的] for the real thing. The park does not have traditional rides， but guests are encouraged to interact[互动] with the exhibits and various sculptures[雕塑].
The park opens from 10AM to 6PM daily， and is closed on Mondays. Admission[入场费] is free， though the museum accepts donations[捐款] to continue its mission to improve toilet hygiene[卫生] and education.
2007年，沈载德在水原市建造了世界上第一座马桶形的房子，他本人就住在这座房子里，直到2009年去世。沈载德去世以后，这座房子被改建成博物馆，通过展示世界各地的男女厕标志、公共厕所的照片和关于卫浴设施重要性的信息等，记述了世界厕所文化。
2012年，这座厕所博物馆扩建成一个主题公园，其中展示了各种不同风格的厕所，如韩国的传统蹲厕、欧洲的夜壶和历史悠久的便池等。游客们可以随意假装正在“方便”（可以顺便拍一些有趣的照片），如果真要“方便”的话，园区内有一套真正的现代化厕所。这个公园虽然没有传统的机动游戏，但它鼓励游客与展品和各种雕塑进行互动。
厕所主题公园的开放时间为每天上午十点到下午六点，周一闭园。入场免费。不过博物馆接受捐赠，以便继续其改善厕所卫生和教育的使命。
