Dawu Rainbow Street Introduction
On the South Link Highway, travelers hurriedly passing by the Dawu area may notice an eye-catching yellow-painted overpass. Heading south, one can also see a cluster of houses with exteriors painted in various colors in a radial pattern. This area is known as Dawu Rainbow Street, a community sponsored by a renowned international paint brand. As you walk along the South Link Highway into Dawu Street, you are immediately attracted by the vibrantly colored walls, marking the energetic entrance to Dawu Rainbow Street. A total of twenty to thirty houses on Dawu Street participated in this project, with bold color combinations transforming the previously monotonous community into a lively and passionate atmosphere. On Dawu Street, there is also a row of European-style wooden houses, which serve as permanent homes for residents of the Fushan community forcibly relocated after Typhoon Morakot. Fushan was originally the second largest Paiwan tribe settlement in Dawu, but due to landslides caused by the typhoon, the original site is now uninhabitable, and nearly forty households from the tribe currently reside here. Besides their eye-catching appearance, most of the houses feature many indigenous totems at their entrances and front yards, beautifully complemented by the rich colors of Rainbow Street, making them truly unique.
