A former military village in Taichung was earmarked for demolition until a last remaining resident decided to paint colourful murals over the small homes that soon attracted millions of visitors. However, on Aug 2022 the murals were defaced when operators were told to move out for impending restoration works. It finally reopened in June 2023 but I am told it does not look quite the same as before.
