Head to the Rainbow Family Village in Taichung, Taiwan for an explosion of rainbows. This village of art is the work of Grandpa Rainbow, a former soldier whose real name is Huang Yung-Fu. Now in his 90s, this man picked up his paintbrush years ago to brighten up his environs and to keep the old village from demolition.
The whole village is a canvas; animals, flowers and cartoons adorn not only the walls but also the ground, enveloping visitors in a bright, cheery and Instagram-worthy setting. What a way to bring life back to a village!
Here’s a sneak peek of what you can find in Rainbow Family Village, as photographed by Steven Barringer.
