Rainbow Village Taiwan - The Instagram Hotspot of Taichung 臺中市

The most colorful place in all of Taiwan. Of all the wacky places to visit in Taichung City, Rainbow Village Taichung is definitely the most memorable. Taiwan is still scattered with “veterans villages“. These villages had been built hastily, with cheap materials. They gave simple housing to the Kuomintang soldiers, and their families, after they retreated from Mainland China. In the last twenty years these villages have been disappearing, one by one. The government gave the land to building companies, providing in exchange new decent apartments to the surviving veterans or their families. Rainbow Village in Taichung is one of these veterans villages. It was already being torn down house by house. One of the last village residents is Mr.Huang. One day he started to paint the empty and dying village. He painted animals, dolls, airplanes, manga characters, etc … All with vibrant colors, filling the walls and the alleys. Students of the nearby Ling Tung University discovered the paintings, a few years ago. Rainbow Village started to attract attention, at first only in Taichung, then island wide. After the protests of the local people, and also realizing that the village was becoming one of the attractions in Taichung City, the local government decided to suspend the demolition.
