Rainbow Village in Nantun, Taichung

The vibrantly colored walls of Rainbow Village aren't just graffiti; they're a cry for life from retired soldier Huang Yongfu, using paint to save the village. Since 2008, a bird, a flower, and a playful image have gradually spread, saving the old village, once destined for demolition, and becoming a miracle of art and vitality.

Here, red, yellow, green, and blue aren't mere colors; they're the rhythm of rebirth. The murals, seemingly naive, hold a deep imprint of personal memories and national history. Walking through the alleys, each wall is like reading a storybook, the village buildings and the paintings dancing together, transforming the former military housing into a "fairytale of time." The animals, dolls, and even words in the paintings, like "contentment" and "protection," remind you that memories live on and hope remains.

Most uniquely, this village relies not on commercial hype, but on the art of one man, who has shaken city government decisions and transformed the city's destiny. Like a spark of fire, it reminds us that art can be the truest form of resistance, and even in the loneliest moments, it can light up the hearts of an entire village. 📍Address: No. 25, Lane 56, Chun'an Road, Nantun District, Taichung City 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Rainbow Popsicle
