Rainbow Village
Rainbow Village is a unique attraction located in Nantun District, Taichung City, Taiwan. It was created by retired soldier Huang Yung-Fu (known as 'Rainbow Grandpa'), who painted the original military dependents' village houses. His vibrant and whimsical works feature patterns of birds, animals, and people, attracting numerous visitors and making it a highly representative cultural and creative landmark in Taichung. The village was saved from demolition due to its unique artistic charm and has now become a popular tourist destination, especially favored by Asian visitors. It reopened in June 2023, showcasing its newly restored appearance.
Miyahara Eye Clinic
Miyahara Eye Clinic (Miyahara Ice Cream) is a pastry shop, restaurant, and ice cream parlor located in Central District, Taichung City, Taiwan. It was transformed from an ophthalmology clinic built in 1927, hence its name. The building is famous for its unique architectural style (often compared to Hogwarts in 'Harry Potter') and is one of the early urban renewal projects in Taichung's city center. The first floor mainly sells ice cream and various pastries, while the second floor houses a Taiwanese cuisine restaurant called 'Zhaixinglou' (Star-Picking Tower), which has received a 'Bib Gourmand' recommendation from the Michelin Guide.

It is renowned for its diverse snacks, merchandise, and lively atmosphere, making it an excellent place to experience Taiwanese night market culture.
