On the outskirts of Taichung, a military outpost once bustling with life has largely been abandoned, with most residents having left. However, an 86-year-old war veteran took it upon himself to save his home and the spirit of the community. He began painting the walls of the remaining houses with vibrant characters and intricate designs, transforming the area into a colorful outdoor gallery.

His artistic efforts not only preserved his home but also breathed new life into the outpost, making it a beloved attraction. Today, it stands as one of Taiwan's most popular tourist spots, drawing visitors eager to experience its unique charm and creativity.
