Rainbow Village

One of the most colorful places in Taiwan is the Rainbow Village. The artist behind this is Huang Yong-Fu, also known as Grandpa Rainbow. The village was built by 9 retired soldiers and Grandpa Rainbow bought one home in the village after his retirement. In 2010, when Rainbow Grandpa heard that there will be a demolition he started painting the village. After a while it was discovered and there was a petition not to destroy the village, it was successful and the village became a tourist destination.

Our Rainbow Village Experience

While outside, we immediately saw the colorful compound. So, we entered and explored it for a while.

There are a few tourists in the area, maybe because it’s getting dark already.

If you wanted some coffee, there is a coffee shop here.

There are also various noticeable characters in the paintings. I’m just no sure who they were.

We got some pictures together with the art. These art are very IG worthy.

Inside some of the houses

Some of the history can be seen inside the houses.

There are also some who sells souvenirs.

Outside and the Playground

Even outside the compound, there are some paintings.

There is also a playground so the children can also enjoy.

The village is not that big, but we didn’t spend too much time here. We just get a few pictures and go on to the next destination because we are chasing the sunset.
