Beyond the captivating flower beds, there are beautiful installations such as swing chairs, floral arches, and replicas of pianos and windmills, making it an ideal spot for photography.

• Painted Animation Lane - Nestled in the West District of Taichung City, Painted Animation Lane has become a highly photogenic location for Instagram enthusiasts, thanks to the influence of Japanese animations.

Whether you’re an anime fan or not, exploring this alley feels like a nostalgic journey back to childhood.

• Miyahara - Next, the distinctive “ophthalmology clinic” Miyahara will captivate you with its Hogwarts-inspired interior design.

Originally an ophthalmology clinic founded by the Japanese ophthalmologist Miyahara during Japanese colonization, the building was later taken over by the government after Taiwan’s retrocession. It was then acquired and renovated by a local pastry company, transforming this former eye clinic into a retro-style pastry and ice cream shop.

Today, Miyahara is renowned for its vintage decor and a wide array of ice cream flavors. If you’re a Harry Potter fan or have a sweet tooth, this place is a must-visit.
