— Attraction Introduction —
- Rainbow Village
(Special note! The alley area inside Rainbow Village undergoes cleaning and maintenance every Monday. The outer area remains open for photo-taking all year round. Please be aware.) Rainbow Village is an alley about 50 meters long, with walls painted with various portraits, birds, and water buffalo. The ground is also decorated with rainbows, flowers, and blessings. Grandpa Huang, who started painting here, painted whatever came to mind—from people, water buffalo, birds, to airplanes, even pandas “Tuan Tuan” and “Yuan Yuan.” This near-octogenarian artist painted the entire alley with vibrant and lively patterns and colors, which have become a viral sensation online.
- Miyahara
Located near Taichung Train Station, this building was renovated by the well-known local bakery brand Sunrise. The original, nearly dilapidated structure was largely preserved while modern design elements were added, turning it into Sunrise’s most distinctive flagship store.
- Gaomei Wetlands
Formerly known as Gaomei Wildlife Refuge, located on the south side of the Dajia River estuary in Qingshui, covering an area of 1,500 hectares. It boasts rich ecology and scenic resources. From any angle or through the lens, the orange-red sunset paired with huge wind turbines in the distance looks like a painted masterpiece, making it an unmissable classic view.
- Fengjia Night Market
Located in Xitun District, Taichung City, mainly along Wenhua Road, Fuxing Road, and Fengjia Road, it is Taiwan’s largest and most famous tourist night market. Fengjia Night Market attracts visitors with its motto “cheap and generous portions,” and on weekends, the main streets are packed with crowds. It is famous for its novel and interesting snacks, becoming the origin of many innovative street foods.
