My Favorite Sights
Unquestionably,
in each country around the world, there are always plenty of gorgeous sights to
appreciate. For instance, it could be the impressive modern architectures and
numerous historical tourist attractions as well. Instead of introducing such
seemingly alike places, I’d like to show you my favorite sights in Taichung,
the third largest city, located in west-central Taiwan. Interestingly enough,
it’s called Rainbow Village. Nonetheless, it has nothing to do with
homosexuality. In reality, it’s an old small military housing area. The main
feature lies in its flamboyant graffiti, painted almost everywhere!
Surprsingly, the painter is a 80-year-old man. He isn’t a professional artist
but a retired soldier who is full of imagination! At first, he painted the
walls around his home based on his hobby. Since his innovative idea, plenty of
his neighbors were rather amazed. It turned out that the nearby residents asked
him to paint their walls alike. Now, if you visit there, you’ll see various
colorful paintings everywhere! Apart from that, a versatile busker sometimes
performs there. He plays the ukelele and sings songs. His brilliant performance
along with the colorful clothes makes him a spotlight stealer there. He may
approach people actively with his lovely ukelele, inviting you to take a
picture with him and help you take photographs with the flamboyant building,
too. Believe it or not, you’ll find every photograph perfectly beautiful! I bet
that my favorite sight in Taichung is definitely a must-see spot! By the way,
the tourists are advised to lower their voices while visiting. Noises could be
rather annoying since the residents still live in the houses.
