Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
There is an old military dependents' village near Lingdong University of Science and Technology in Nantun District, Taichung City. It attracts people from all over the world to visit every year. Veteran Huang Yongfu, because of boredom in his later years, picked up a paintbrush and used the alleys and streets in the military dependents' village as a natural canvas. All kinds of beautiful rainbow lines and cute animals are painted. Because of the bold colors, cute composition and full of childlike interest, it makes visitors feel like they are in a rainbow world. Therefore, netizens call it "Rainbow Dependents' Village", and Huang Yongfu is affectionately known by people. Known as "Grandpa Rainbow", many photography enthusiasts and young literary and artistic young people will come here to take pictures. The tens of meters long alley at the entrance of the village is a place where "Grandpa Rainbow" paints a lot, and it is also a lively place. Mr. Huang Yongfu's home is in this alley, and it is easy to find, because the gate of his house is covered with notes left by tourists, which are full of words of blessing: "Grandpa Rainbow, your The creation makes ordinary military dependents villages have extraordinary colors", "The painting is so beautiful, please continue to be colorful." From time to time, "Grandpa Rainbow" will go out of the house to take pictures with everyone at the request of tourists. He didn't mind that the tourists were tired, he pushed open the door and visited his old house of more than ten square meters. Although the house was not big, the walls were filled with dozens of cartoon characters and animal shapes, and various kinds of animals were placed on the bed. All kinds of woodcuts, and on the table are all kinds of watercolor pens, brushes and papers. Painting has become a habit of Huang Yongfu's life. He paints every day and will continue to paint.

Falling in Love with Rainbow Village, TaiwanLet me take you on a journey to a place that will ignite your imagination: Rainbow Village in Taiwan. Believe me when I say, this vibrant wonderland is unlike anything you've ever seen. As I stepped into Rainbow Village, I couldn't help but let out an audible gasp. The explosion of colors surrounding me was simply mesmerizing! Each wall was a canvas of dreams, showcasing whimsical creatures and captivating scenes that seemed straight out of a fairy tale. I felt like a kid again, ready to explore this enchanting playground. But Rainbow Village isn't just about the visuals; it's about the incredible story behind it. Mr. Huang, the village's sole resident, single-handedly saved this place from destruction. With his trusty paintbrush, he breathed life into the walls, turning them into vibrant works of art. Meeting him and hearing his tales was a privilege I'll cherish forever. Every step I took in Rainbow Village was a photo opportunity waiting to happen. I couldn't resist capturing every vivid detail, from the cheerful creatures to the whimsical scenes. And the best part? The locals, with their warm smiles, welcomed me like an old friend, making me feel right at home. So, if you find yourself in Taiwan, do yourself a favor and make a beeline for Rainbow Village. Let the colors ignite your imagination, the stories touch your soul, and the warmth of this magical place stay with you long after you've left.

Colorful Rainbow Village in Taichung 🌈If you search "What to Visit in Taichung", you probably will get this place as top 3 recommendation of attraction in Taichung. Rainbow village is an area with amazing wall painting that is full of story and history! I visited it in the Summer, and many people did too. I went there by Taichung city bus.

Rainbow Village is a tourist attraction. Originated from the 18-year-old Rongmin Huang Yongzhen, who lives in the old village near Lingdong University of Science and Technology in Nanxun District, Taichung City, he picked up the paint brush and used the street in the village as a natural The canvas, painted on the top of the beautiful rainbow lines and cute animals, not only brightened the small village, caused a heated discussion on the network, but also formed a wave of visits.

As long as after the filming, in his small "seeking reward" box, you can enjoy the money~imissqingqing.7
I knew Rainbow Village for the first time. It was a few sporadic photos and a few words that I saw when I first opened Weibo. At that time, I recorded this nice name in the list of Taiwanese must-have that already existed in my mind. On the second day of coming to Taichung, I went to Donghai University early in the morning to read the Lusiyi Church, and I quickly went to the rainbow paradise of the Rainbow Village. If the color is blocked, the house is low, and the village where the roadway is forced to look more like a shanty town with a combination of urban and rural areas. But on the wall, the ground, the windows... Wherever the sights are everywhere, the rainbow-like and graffiti paintings full of childlikeness are the "Rainbow Grandpa", which makes this unseen village that should have been demolished become An incredible fairy tale kingdom. For the "Rainbow Grandpa" Huang Yongzhen, now 95 years old, every brick in the village and the house is his canvas. In his own words, when he was 86, he started picking up the brush because he was "boring." The old man used to brush and smear outside the house outside his house to pass the time. Later, it gradually painted the walls and courtyards of the neighbors. Later, the grounds, walls, doors and windows of the entire village were covered with colorful, playful and exaggerated rainbows, flowers, animals and other paintings. For more than six years, a veteran who had never studied painting for a day made the Rainbow Village accidentally red with cute graffiti, and indirectly protected the last seven houses in the village from demolition.Dominic.11

it's a relatively small residential area. nice artwork but max 15mins there. wouldn't recommend going out of the way but a quick stop to next attraction might be appropriate
Beautifully painted walls and floor, although small, the rainbow village is definitely a great place for photo taking
Definitely a worth seeing place as i took a 1 hr ride bus to a free entrance place. Super Duper Colourful, pls wear plain colour if you’re planning to get nice pictures!!!
Colorful as the rainbow. They have available playground for kids. We also bought umbrella and T-shirt as souvenirs. Quality was great!
It's a little inconvenient to get here. Take No. 27 (50 minutes) at the railway station to the six villages in Gancheng, cross the road, go along Chun'an Road, pass the primary school, and turn left into the bottom of the lane. If it's from Taichung, you can take No. 27 to Chaomai Station. It's nearer. Buses usually run half an hour. They are free within 10 kilometres by swiping a yo-yo card. In 2010, a retired grandfather picked up a brush because he was bored and turned his family village into a colorful world, hence the name "Rainbow family village". Facing demolition, the people petitioned together, and the mayor of Taichung decided to keep the village after his personal inspection. Family village is not big, walk around about 10 minutes, but the house was painted on a variety of colorful patterns, and are all with a good moral, such as love or wealth at first sight. The visit is free, but there is also a small box outside Grandpa's house to collect donations, which means that we hope to buy more paint through donations. There is also a stall outside Grandpa's house, which sells some fans, notebooks, folders, postcards and other souvenirs. The price of an umbrella is about NT 880. Occasionally during the day, a mysterious figure dressed in Iron Man costume will take a picture with you. Some people say that to come to the village is to find the feeling of childhood, but with me it is more like when dreams come into reality.
nice place
