Miyahara is a historic red-brick building originally established in 1927 by Japanese ophthalmologist Miyahara Takeo. During the Japanese colonial period, it became one of Taichung’s most prominent ophthalmology clinics. Today, the building has been beautifully preserved by Dawn Cake, a local pastry company known for its pineapple cakes, retaining its iconic red-brick walls and distinctive archways. We’ll also visit the Fourth Credit Union (Si-Sin), another historic building that has been transformed into a lively destination while preserving its architectural character. Once a financial institution, it now houses popular food and dessert spots, including a shop known for its delicious ice cream. It’s a great place to appreciate Taichung’s architectural heritage while enjoying a sweet treat.
Rainbow Village was created by Huang Yung-Fu, a former soldier who began painting the houses in his settlement in an effort to save them from demolition. Over time, his vibrant artwork featuring colorful birds, animals, people, and playful patterns spread across the remaining houses, transforming the settlement into a lively outdoor art space. Once part of a larger settlement that reportedly contained around 1,200 homes, Rainbow Village has since become a beloved cultural landmark in Taichung.
Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Gaomei Wetlands, a scenic coastal area renowned for its rich wetland ecosystem. Discover fascinating wildlife, including mudskippers, fiddler crabs, and a variety of bird species. As the day draws to a close, admire the stunning sunset over the wetlands and soak in the tranquil coastal scenery. Please note: If the wooden boardwalk is closed due to high tide or maintenance, you can still enjoy scenic views of the wetlands from the riverside embankment trail.
