Rainbow Village, Nantun District, Taichung City, Taiwán
The Rainbow Village of Taiwan is a home makeover like no other. This tiny housing complex for retired military defendants in the city of Taichung is a colorific, childish, surreal, humorous and psychedelic outdoor exhibition that has been on my bucket list for years. Sure, we all liked to doodle as a child, but the story goes that when 93-year-old resident Huang Yung-fu (now known as the Rainbow Grandpa) heard the governments plans to tear down the complex and rehouse the veterans, he picked up a paint brush and let his imaginative illustrations run wild.
