Rainbow Military Village

Have you ever seen a small village with painted walls and floors? Located in Nantun, Taichung, the internationally renowned Netbeauty photo spot, Rainbow Military Village, was once an old housing area to be demolished. In August 2008, Huang Yongfu, a veteran who was then known as the “Rainbow Grandpa”, began to paint on the old house to be demolished, and in 2010, after being discovered by the teachers and students of Lingdong University of Science and Technology and Hongguang Science and Technology, they decided to launch the “Rescue Rainbow Village” campaign and asked the Taichung City Government to retain this cultural asset. After its popularity, Rainbow Military Village has attracted millions of people to visit the area every year, and has been selected as one of the top 10 Instagram check-in spots in Taiwan by the British travel website and Lonely Planet.

Tunghai University

Walking into Tunghai University, which is located on the slope of Dadu Mountain in Taichung, the first thing that catches your eye is the two rows of verdant phoenix trees on Younong Road; On the straight avenue of arts and sciences, the ancient banyan tree is covered like an umbrella, like a green tunnel; The low-mounted street lamps emit soft light, adding to the atmosphere at night.
Nestled on an open lawn between the activity center and the teaching area is the Lussy-Ear Church, designed by the school’s most prestigious architect, I.M. Pei, with its curved sail roof and glazed tiles, which is a symbol of the school’s spirit.
Located on the southwest slope of the campus, the 50-hectare Donghai Ranch was developed by the students of the College of Agriculture. There is a Donghai Lake next to it, and there is Dongmei Pavilion on the lakeside, which commemorates a generation of philosophers Mr. Fang Dongmei.
