Is that the alley way in your photo? It looks pleasant. If they can't stop the people they can build aone of those smoking bus shelter thing with bins so at least the mess is concentrated at one spot , makes cleaning easier.
As to surveillance , just read an article from the Guardian Newspaper this morning that if you enter Xi jiang in China from the Kyrgyzstan border, the border police ask you for your phone pin and take your phone away for up to an hour!!!
Admittingly, the alleyway looks ok and the tower helps, but I do think a garbage can and ashtray would be a more reasonable solution. I don't like it, but people who smoke need somewhere to smoke.
It is kinda scary that the government will take away your phone when entering the country even if you did nothing wrong. I'd recommend storing your data on a micro SD and removing it from your phone.

As much as I'd like to visit Xi Jiang, China isn't high on my list at the moment which is a shame. Storing dats off the phone is the easy part, not knowing what's been installed or planted on your phone is the scary part
Yeah, maybe if I go I'll just bring my old phone. It still works and I've formatted it. Better than using my current phone if they are going to install programs to spy on me.
