— 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.

FAQ
Taichung's Rainbow Village began when a veteran, Huang Yong-fu (affectionately known as Rainbow Grandpa), started painting the drab military dependents' village houses. His vibrant, childlike artwork transformed the village, which was slated for demolition, into a colorful attraction, saving it from destruction and preserving a unique piece of local history.
Most visitors find that 30 to 60 minutes is sufficient to explore Rainbow Village. This allows enough time to wander through the colorful alleys, admire the intricate murals, take photos, and soak in the unique artistic atmosphere. It's a compact site best enjoyed at a leisurely pace.
No, Rainbow Village in Taichung is completely free to enter. Visitors can freely explore the art-filled alleys and enjoy the vibrant murals without any admission charges. There are often local vendors selling souvenirs or refreshments, but entry to the village itself is open to all.
Miyahara is renowned for its wide array of exquisite desserts and culinary gifts. Visitors can enjoy gourmet ice cream with unique toppings, delicious pineapple cakes, high-quality chocolates, and elegantly packaged pastries. The store itself is a specialty, designed like a grand old library, making the shopping experience unique.
Miyahara offers a distinctive blend of historical charm and gourmet delights. Housed in a beautifully restored former ophthalmology clinic, its vintage ambiance and intricate interior design create a captivating setting. Visitors can indulge in unique ice cream flavors and high-quality confections, all while experiencing a piece of Taichung's heritage.
While popular with tourists, Miyahara is generally considered a unique and worthwhile experience rather than merely a tourist trap. It offers high-quality products, a beautifully restored historical building, and a distinct atmosphere that appeals to both locals and visitors seeking special gifts and gourmet treats. Its reputation for quality and unique ambiance stands out.
The best time to visit Gaomei Wetlands for its famous sunset scenery is typically in the late afternoon, about one to two hours before actual sunset.

A shuttle transfer service offers exceptional convenience for exploring Rainbow Village, Miyahara, and Gaomei Wetlands. It provides direct, hassle-free transportation between these popular Taichung attractions, eliminating the need to navigate public transport or arrange multiple taxis.
