Rainbow Village in Taichung is one of these veterans villages. It was already being torn down house by house. One of the last village residents was Mr.Huang. One day he started to paint the empty and dying village. He painted animals, dolls, airplanes, manga characters, etc … All with vibrant colors, filling the walls and the alleys. Students of the nearby Ling Tung University discovered the paintings, some years ago. Rainbow Village started to attract attention, at first only in Taichung, then island wide. After the protests of the local people, and also realizing that the village was becoming one of the attractions in Taichung City, the local government decided to suspend the demolition.
