    The Rainbow Military Village is a colorful place in Taichung's Nantun District. It was originally an old military village that was about to be demolished. It became popular because veteran Huang Yongfu used a paintbrush to paint alleys and walls with rainbow lines and cartoon patterns. Now it has become a popular check-in spot. When you enter the village, you can see bright paintings on the ground and walls. Chickens and rabbits are outlined on the red background, as well as blessings such as "safe travel" and "a happy marriage". Even the pandas Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are painted in a playful way. The village is not big, suitable for a slow stroll. There are surprises hidden in every wall and every corner. There is no ticket here. It is suitable for people who like taking pictures and artistic atmosphere. It is nice to spend an hour or two strolling around.

    The day I went was too cloudy, so I didn’t get to see the sunset view. The wind was really strong and it was quite crowded, but it was still a beautiful place overall

    If you have time, worth the money to checkout this museum. I really enjoyed the exhibition. Had English translation which was also nice, not in all rooms but most. Also big enough to avoid the crowds. Not always a nice feeling walking in crowds of people.

    Fengjia Night Market is a must-visit food gathering place in Taichung. It is crowded with people from the evening, with students and tourists interweaving, lively but not crowded. There are so many kinds of snacks here that it is dazzling. The most popular one is Guanzhilin's large intestine wrapped in small intestine. The glutinous rice sausage is wrapped in grilled sausage and brushed with special sauce. The queue is long but worth it. If you like to be curious, you can try the rainbow potato chips. The spiral potatoes are fried golden and topped with cheese sauce and corn kernels. The appearance and taste are online.

    Baxianshan National Forest Park is one of the rare tourist attractions with many toilets, so you don’t have to worry about emergency toilet breaks. It takes eight hours to climb the main peak and back. It is recommended that you need to pay attention to your time and have complete mountaineering equipment, especially shoes. For someone who doesn’t often climb mountains, it is very steep. The ascent is okay, but the descent is very difficult. But the fresh air and beautiful scenery make it worth a visit.
